Answer:

<em>Proteus</em>

Explanation:

Proteus is a gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em>. The Enterobacteriaceae family are gram negative rod, facultatively aerobic, nonsporulating and oxidase negative. They ferment glucose.

The oxidase test is used to differentiate between member of the family and <em>Pseudomonas </em>(<em>Pseudomonas </em>is oxidase positive).

<em>Proteus </em>is known for its ability to swarm a culture medium due to its high motility (called swarming motility). <em>Proteus </em>is also urease positive, it produces the enzyme urease, which catalyses the breakdown of urea.

Epsom salts are solutes that do not pass through cell membranes. If one soaks in a hypertonic solation of Epsom salts, which of
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The net movements of water from the region of higher water potential  to the region of low water potential through  a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. It is a form of diffusion which involves the transport of water molecules.

In this present scenario  water molecules  pass through the selectively permeable membrane from higher water potential in the body, to lower water potential but high solute potential (Epsom salts). The later is called an hypertonic solution,this is because it has higher solute potential ,thus higher salt concentration than the surrounding medium,therefore water pass by osmosis into the Epsom salts.

If one is placed in this solution,the cells shrink as they lose water to the more concentrated Epsom.(hypertonic solution)

However, the body homeostatic mechanism through the kidney  ensure re-absorption of fluid back to the body from the DCT  and CT, via  anti diuretic hormone to preserve the cell and the person.

Name two types of lateral pathways for the movement of sucrose from source cell into the sieve tube
Alik [6]

Answer:

Diffusion and active transport.

Explanation:

Diffusion and active transport are the two types of lateral pathways that is responsible for the movement of sucrose from source cell into the sieve tube. Sugar molecules are moved into the sieve elements which are the phloem cells through active transport i.e. with the use of energy. The water produces turgor pressure in the sieve elements, which pushes the sugars and fluids down the phloem tubes toward the storage sites. it also moved through simple diffusion due to difference in concentration i.e. from higher to lower concentration region.
