<span>The water molecule, as a whole, has 10 protons and 10 electrons, so it is neutral.In a water molecule, the oxygen atom and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds, but the sharing is not equal.In the covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen, the oxygen atom attracts electrons a bit more strongly than the hydrogen atoms.The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms.When a neutral molecule has a positive area at one end and a negative area at the other, it is a polar molecule.<span>Water molecules attract one another based on the attraction between the positive end of one water molecule and the negative end of another.</span></span>

Answer:

In p53 pathways, 3 proteins which are mutate and cause cancer that proteins are:

1.BRCA2  

2. p53 in Rb genes binds with deoxyribonucleic acid that stimulates another gene to produce a protein known as p21 that interacts with cdk2. When p21 is combined with cdk2  cell will not pass through to the next stage of cell division. This is Li-Fraumeni syndrome (when p53 causes cancer from parents to offspring)  

3.BRCA1  

The parent that transmits mutation in one of these genes has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutation. The effects of mutations in BRCA2 and BRCA1 are seen when the person's second copy of the gene is normal.

The bottom line difference between passive and active transport through a cell membrane’s is
Ahat [919]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Active transport uses energy and passive transport does not

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <u>Passive transport occurs when materials move across cell membranes without using cell energy (ATP). </u> Examples of passive transport include; diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. It moves small molecules like water, oxygen, carbon dioxide and glucose.
  • <em><u>Active transport on the other hand involves the movement of materials across the cell membrane that requires the use of cell energy (ATP)</u></em>.
  • In other words the difference between active transport and passive transport is that passive Transport moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy while active Transport moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP.
