How does the size of a solute affect the rate of diffusion? consider the size and shape of a molecule in your response?

1 answer:

3 0

The larger the solute the slower the rate of diffusion. Smaller the solute, faster the rate of diffusion. If the shape of the solute has a large surface area then it'll have the faster rate of diffusion. Shape of solute that has a small Surface area, has a slower rate of diffusion

The antiparallel arrangement within DNA molecules refers to Select one:

mylen [45]

Answer:

c. one helix strand that runs from the 5' to 3' direction and the other strand runs from the 3' to 5' direction.

Explanation:

A DNA molecule has <em>two strands of nucleotides with a sugar phosphate backbone each, but orientated on the opposite direction </em>allowing for the base pairs to complement one another, making it a more stable structure. <em>When two biopolymers run parallel to each other but with opposite directionality (alignment) we have an antiparallel arrangement.</em>

I annexed an image of the DNA structure.

Which substance completes passive transports and facilitated diffusion?

11111nata11111 [884]

And: Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that allows substances to cross membranes with the assistance of special transport proteins. Some molecules and ions such as glucose, sodium ions, and chloride ions are unable to pass through the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes.
