Answer:
The substance would be less likely to enter the cell by active transport or might enter more slowly
Explanation:
The information in the question suggests substance L is moving into the cell by active transport. We can tell this because the concentration of substance L inside the cell is 120 mM. However, the substance is still entering the cell from a lower to a high concentration, against its concentration gradient. This requires energy and is therefore active transport.
If there was a large protein attached, the active transport machinery might not be able to move substance L at the same rate. The rate it enters the cell might slow down, or it might stop all together. It might need to enter via another mechanism, such as endocytosis.

Hello again!
If plants are purebred, then they are homozygous. This means that they have the exact same genes in one pair: for example, AA. If they are both purebred, then the dominant gene will win out every time. The answer for this question, then, would be D. Here is a diagram to help you!
