The question here is, is glucose a protein? No, it's not; it's a carbohydrate.
So pepsin would not break it down: it would most probably not react with glucose at all, since pepsin breaks down proteins, not carbohydrates. <span />
Answer:
<h3>Yes, Passive transport can occur in dead cells.</h3>
Explanation:
For passive transport to occur, a concentration gradient has to be formed across a permeable or semi-permeable membrane. If the cell membrane of the dead cell, which is a semipermeable membrane, is intact and a concentration gradient has formed on both sides, passive transport can occur.
A concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of solute molecules across the membrane. Passive transport will allow solute molecules to travel from the higher concentration of the solute to the lower concentration across a membrane till equilibrium is reached, that is, both the sides of the membrane has equal concentration of the solute.
The transport of the solvent can occur as well, from higher concentration to lower concentration.
Answer:
They help to stop harmful germs from entering the body
Explanation:
- The skin can prevent bacteria and microorganisms from entering the body (unless it is damaged)
- Mucous membranes line the mouth and nose and are coated with secretions that fight microorganisms and harmful bacteria
- Tears help to clear debris from the eye to prevent infection
I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. The process that creates specialized cells like blood cells, nerve cells, or bone cells, is called differentiation. It is a process where generic embryonic cells become specialized cells.
