The elements potassium (K) and chlorine (CI) can form an ionic bond. Which of the following

musickatia [10]

Answer:

As chlorine has 7 valence electrons, it tends to form bonds to gain one electron (to get a full valence shell of 8).On the other hand, potassium has one valence electron, so it tends to lose this electron to other atoms (and

become a cation)

What is the difference between prophage and viral DNA?

mylen [45]

Answer:

A bacteriophage is a type of virus that attacks bacteria. In the lytic cycle, the virus hijacks the cell machinery of the bacterium that it has infected. In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA is incorporated into the bacterial DNA.

Explanation:

Its a type of virus.

Which protein is used to break food down and give?

brilliants [131]

protein digestion begins when you first start chewing. there are two enzymes in your salvia called amylase and lipase. they most break down carbohydrates and fats. Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids

Bioflix activity: membrane transport -- vocabulary review can you match the processes involved in membrane transport to their de

Natalka [10]

Explanation:

From the diagram with corresponding labels:

Exocytosis
Facilitated diffusion
Endocytosis
Diffusion
Active transport

Further explanation:

Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid by layer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Active transport is a mediated process that requires the use of specialized membrane proteins these proteins require energy in the form of avenues and triphosphate or ATP in order to facilitate necessary conformational changes to the large protein molecules.

Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane. Channel proteins which are pores filled with water versus enabling charged molecules to diffuse across the membrane, from regions of high concentration to regions of lower concentration. This is a passive part of facilitated diffusion

...some very large molecules require specialized type of active transport in order to move across the membrane this includes endocytosis and exocytosis

During endocytosis large molecules cells and cell fragments moved across the plasma membrane through a process of invagination; piece of the external cell membrane falls into itself and forms a small pocket that surrounds the target molecule this breaks off from the membrane to form an intracellular vesicle; different methods of endocytosis such as Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis, take in cells, water and targeted substances respectively.

Similarly, in exocytosis, the particles (Protein, Waste material etc.) surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. However, this membrane is formed in the cytoplasm, and attaches to the plasma membrane’s interior in a process opposite to endocytosis; material is removed from the cell and exported into the cell’s exterior called the extracellular space.
