Suppose molecules were unable to diffuse into and out of the cells. How might life be different if cells had to use active trans

Answer:

Cells would most probably not exist because these units of life metabolize energy molecules like glucose to harness their energy for the running of biochemical processes, like active transport, to support life. However, harnessing this energy from these energy molecules is NOT 100 percent efficient. A higher percentage of energy is lost as heat in the process.

Therefore if the cells were required to carry all molecules in and out of the cell, actively, including the energy molecules themselves (which is counterintuitive), this would require a lot of energy and would be unsustainable. This would be analogical to the counteracting and infinite loop of more fuel needed to carry the mass of the more fuel in space travel...

What is the probability of a homozygous recessive individual (ss) producing a gamete with a dominant allel (S)?
Ainat [17]
The probability that a homozygous recessive individual would be producing a dominant allele would be 0%. If expressed as a percentage, this is because the individual does not even have the possible allele in its genotype for whatever trait or feature that the protein codes for.
