Answer:

The options are:

A. Water will not be absorbed

B. The kidney will stop working

C. Carbohydrate will not be digested.

D. No major problem will arise

The answer is D. No major problem will arise

Explanation:

This is an endoscopic procedure done to patients who have blocked food pipe.

The Oesophageal stent is a small metal or plastic tube which is put into the food pipe (oesophagus).

A cancer in the food pipe can partly or completely block and make it difficult to swallow. The solution mostly is to put a stent into the blocked area which opens up the food pipe well for the passage of of food. This also permits individuals to swallow food and drink more easily.

The patient normally stays in the hospital overnight or for a few days during this procedure.

Sodium ions, oxygen (O2), and glucose pass directly through lipid bilayers at dramatically different rates. Which of the followi
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The correct order, from fastest to slowest, for the passage of molecules and ions through the cell membrane is oxygen, sodium ions, glucose (option D).

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer, with glycoproteins and membrane proteins, which constitutes a semi-permeable barrier to the passage of substances into and out of the cell.

The speed with which a substance can pass through the membrane depends on its chemical properties -hydrophilic substances pass through with greater difficulty than lipophilic ones- requiring in some cases specialized transport mechanisms. The different rates with which a substance passes depends on this.

  • <em>Oxygen (O₂) </em><em>passes through simple diffusion, depending on a concentration gradient. It's the molecule that passes through the membrane the fastest. </em>
  • <em>In second place, there would be the </em><em>Na⁺ ions</em><em> -charged atoms- that cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, through specific ionic channels. </em>
  • <em>The </em><em>glucose</em><em> molecule, being larger, requires the use of transport proteins, being its passage through the membrane slower with respect to oxygen or sodium.</em>

Undoubtedly, molecular weight and affinity for the plasma membrane are determining factors for the passage of molecules through the lipid bilayer.
