We can test the relative permeability of a phospholipid bilayer by using a synthetic membrane that does not contain any protein

components. Some uncharged, polar molecules are found to diffuse freely across these membranes to varying degrees. Whic of the following has the lowest rate of diffusion across an artificial membrane?

B. glucose
C. ethanol
D. water

Answer:

Glucose.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is made up of lipid bilayer and proteins are embedded or may span the lipid bilayer. The carbohydrates are present in association with lipids and proteins.

The artificial membrane has been prepared that are free from proteins. Small uncharged particles may easily diffuse through the membrane. Among the given molecules in the question water is the smallest molecule and diffuse out first through the plasma membrane. Ethanol is 2 carbon compound and diffuse after water than glycerol diffuses as it is a 3 carbon compound. Glucose is the largest molecule and diffuse last through the plasma membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Why do you think weather scientists use percentages instead of saying “it will definitely rain today”?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Right now, I am in college for climatology, but before I decided on climatology, I was taking classes in Meteorology, the study of weather. So, I will answer your question. All meteorologists like to be right, but since the weather is so spontaneous, it is really hard to be right. Meteorologists use percentages because it helps them be professional. Also, because, different parts of the region where they are may or may not get the rain. I don't know where you are from, but I will use my hometown. In McAlester, Oklahoma, there may be a 70% chance of rain, but in another part of the region at Tulsa, Oklahoma ( which is 91 miles north of McAlester) there may be a 40% chance of rain. The difference in the percentages can vary from how stable the environment is, altitude, location, and terrain. That is two of the reasons why Meteorologists use percentages to predict weather.

1 Explain how substances are transported into and out of cells through diffusion, osmosis
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Dissolved or gaseous substances have to pass through the cell membrane to get into or out of a cell. Diffusion occurs when particles spread. ... They move from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration.
