Biology students used raw eggs in an experiment on tonicity and osmosis. The students put their eggs into vinegar to remove the

shells. The vinegar was used to remove the shell form the raw egg. What other effect(s) did the vinegar have on the egg? A) The vinegar solution was hypotonic, causing the egg to gain mass. B) The vinegar solution was hypotonic, causing the egg to lose mass. C) The vinegar solution was hypertonic, causing the egg to gain mass. D) The vinegar solution was isotonic to the egg so the mass remained constant.

The correct answer is option A, that is, the vinegar solution was hypotonic, causing the egg to gain mass.

A hypotonic solution refers to any kind of solution, which exhibits a lower osmotic pressure than another solution. In biology terms, this usually means a solution that exhibits less solute and more water in comparison to another solution.  

In the given case, the egg is placed in vinegar (a hypotonic solution), thus water will get inside the egg making the egg to gain mass.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The mentioned parental types are c+m- and c-m+. Thus, the recombinants will be c+m+ and c-m-.  

Now, the given distance between c and m is 8 map units. Thus, the recombinant frequency is 8% or 0.08.  

The total recombinants from 1000 plaques will come out to be 80,  

Thus, the recombinants of each type will be 40.  

Total parental type will be 920, and therefore, each parental type count will be 460.  

Thus, expected c+m- = 460, expected c-m+ = 460, expected c+m+ = 40 and expected c-m- = 40.

The Energetics of Coupled Transport
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. False - A symporter system requires that one of the molecules to be transported using passive transport.

B. True - The Na+ will move down the established concentration gradient releasing energy to facilitate movement of sucrose against its concentration gradient. This is known as secondary active transport.

C.  False -  sucrose moves through ion channels not by diffusion to better control its movement across the membrane.

D. True - Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient thus requiring energy input is known as active transport.

E. False - One of the molecules needs to be moving against its concentration gradient.

F. False - A Uniporter system allows the binding and transport of a single molecule at a time. A symporter allows simultaneous binding and transport of Na+ and sucrose molecules.

Answer:
           
                  The correct option is b (false). 

Explanation:
     
                    As is is cleared from the figure that when lactose is absent, the lac repressor binds tightly to the operator. It gets in RNA polymerase's way and prevent transcription.
