a cell is placed in a solution of 3% starch and 3% glucose. After several hours, glucose is detected outside of the cell, but st

arch is not. Explain how the concentration gradient and the permeability of the cell membrane contribute to this change.

Answer and Explanation:

The cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Glucose is a monosaccharide while starch is a polysaccharide. The concentration on the outside is higher compared to that on the inside. The cells have cell membrane that is semi-permeable.

Movement of molecules is dependent on the concentation gradient. However, the size of molecules determine the diffusion rate. Small and light molecules diffuse faster than large and heavy molecules thus glucose diffused faster than starch.

The cell membrane being permeable suggested that it allows molecules of small sizes to pass but not large ones.

<h2>Diffuse co-evolution </h2>

Explanation:

The term ‘diffuse co-evolution’ was given by Janzen in 1980 to describe the idea that selection on traits often reflects the actions of many community members, as opposed to pairwise interactions between species

The idea was further clarified by Gould in 1988 by focusing on a variety of ecological and genetic mechanisms that might lead to diffuse co-evolution in response to selection from multiple species

Diffuse co-evolution as a whole can be defined as when selection imposed reciprocally by one species on another is dependent on the presence or absence of other species

In the given example panic grass can live only when the fungus protuberata is present and for Curvularia protuberata to colonize Curvularia thermal tolerance virus must be present so there is a web of multiple species where one species is dependent on other species and that other species in turn is dependent on different species hence referred to as diffuse co-evolution

The microscope you are coloring and labeling is what type of microscope?
ryzh [129]
<span>A light microscope uses focused light and lenses to magnify an object. Light microscopes come in several forms. (1) Simple light microscopes use a single lens to magnify an object and cannot reach high magnification just like a handheld lens whose highest clear magnification in the best conditions is 25x. (2) Compound light microscopes use two sets of lenses - an objective lens and an eye piece. This is the type of light microscope whose magnification power reaches between 1000x and 2000x.</span>
