Which statement describes the energy involved in diffusion? Diffusion requires energy in all cases. Diffusion requires energy on

ly to move material in through the cell membrane. Diffusion does not require energy in any situation. Diffusion requires energy only to move material out through the cell membrane.

Answer:

Both b and d can be correct

Explanation:

Generally, diffusion does not require energy (<em>making option a wrong</em>) because it is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration hence diffusion moves particles in the direction of a concentration gradient. An example of this is the passive transport (for instance, uptake of glucose by a liver cell).

However, in some cases, when diffusion is against the concentration gradient (i.e when particles move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration), diffusion will require energy in a case like this (<em>making option c wrong</em>). An example of this is active transport (transport of protein called sodium-potassium pump which involves pumping of potassium into the cell and sodium out of the cell).

The explanation above shows that diffusion can require energy to move particles (in or out) of the cell through the cell membrane.

D. Na+

Explanation:

Na+ is the only ion here that is not related to pH. Adding OH- increases pH, and adding H3O+ or H+ (the two are interchangeable) decreases pH.

What is the ratio strength of 100 ml containing a 1:50 povidone iodine solution diluted to 1000 ml? (answer must be numeric; no
guapka [62]

We are given that:

100 mL total solution with 1:50 povidone iodine solution

 

This means that there is 1 mL of povidone iodine solution per 50 mL of total solution. Since we are given a total of 100 mL solution, therefore we have an initial amount of:

pure povidone iodine solution = 2 mL

 

This amount of pure povidone iodine solution is added or diluted (most perhaps with water) to make a total of 1000 mL total solution, therefore the new ratio is:

2:1000 povidone iodine solution

By dividing both sides by 2, this simplifies to

1:500 povidone iodine solution

 

Answer:

1:500

What element is stored in the shells and skeltyons of living organisims?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

carbon

Explanation:

Many organisms use carbon to make calcium carbonate, a building material of shells and skeletons. Other chemical processes create calcium carbonate in the water. The using up of carbon by biological and chemical processes allows more carbon dioxide to enter the water from the atmosphere.

Why isn't a metallic bond considered a true bond?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

A metallic bond is the sharing of many detached electrons between many positive ions, where the electrons act as a "glue" giving the substance a definite structure. It is unlike covalent or ionic bonding. Metals have low ionization energy. Therefore, the valence electrons can be delocalized throughout the metals.
