The glycocalyx: binds solutes and transports them across the plasma membrane. is bound to the inner or outer surface of the plas

ma membrane and is easily separated from it. contains pores or channels through which water and solutes may pass. binds to extracellular structures and is important in cell recognition and lubrication of the cell surface.

Answer:

Binds to extracellular structures and is important in cell recognition and lubrication of the cell surface.

Explanation:

They form a peri-cellular matrix around the cell and is observed as a fuzzy cell coat under a microscope.  Glycocalyx molecules are mostly made up of carbohydrates bonded with lipids and proteins. They are significant  in cell adhesion especially in tissues and for protection in prokaryotes. These molecules are also important in cell-to-cell communication and recognition.

According to the chart, which substance has the lowest OH- concentration?
SVEN [57.7K]

The correct answer is option (B) lemon juice.

pH refers to the logarithmic scale used to indicate the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the activity of the hydrogen ion. Solutions with a pH less that 7 are considered acidic and the solutions with a pH greater that 7 are considered to be basic. A pH of 7 is neither an acid nor a base and is considered neutral.

An acid has a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H+)  and a base has a low concentration of hydrogen ions. Higher the hydrogen ion concentration, pH is acidic. Among the given substances, lemon juice has a pH of 2, urine has a pH of 6, tomato juice has a pH of 4 and black coffee has a pH of 5.  Since lemon juice has a pH of 2, it has the lowest –OH ion concentration.

Which process is NOT fueled by ATP produced in cellular respiration. First exclude the four processes that are fueled by ATP pro
tangare [24]

Answer:

transport of protons (H+) from low concentration in the mitochondrial matrix to high concentration in the mitochondrial intermembrane space

Explanation:

atpase pump can also be called atp synthase. this enzyme catalyses atp formation from adenosine diphosphate and phosphate. it has f1, stalk and f0 components. 3 positive hydrogen ions go through to make 1 adenosine triphosphate molecule. oxidative phosphorylation has to do with the loss of electrons. there would be electrons loss from NADH to FADH2. Cytochromes carries them through different series of transferases from I to IV and while on this positive hydrogen ions are released into mitochondrial matrix

positive hydrogen ions are moved back to lumen through adenosine triphosphate channels. a process called chemiosmosis. the pro
