Answer: Osmosis is the movement of water or other solvent through a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration, tending to equalise the concentrations of the solutes. Osmosis is passive transport, meaning it does not require energy to be applied.
Examples of osmosis in daily life include plant cells soaking up water, skin soaking up water, and slugs reacting to salt.
The most likely complication of this disease is the development of Empyema.
Explanation:
The patient has symptoms of fever, dyspenea (breathlessness with chest pain), cough and sputum which directs towards empyema as they are symptoms of pneumonia and prolonged symptoms would cause empyema.
The infiltrates in the posterior segments of upper lobe of the right lung results in bulging fissure causing necrosis lesion which would cause the complications of empyema.
The empyema is the condition in which pus cells are formed in thoracic cavity, in pleural fluid bacterial infection occurs due to pneumonia or surgery of chest.
The empyema risk is high for diabetics, pulmunary infected and alcoholism.
Answer:
The process occurring in Box A is Glycolysis
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the pathway by which glucose, a six-carbon molecule is oxidized to molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon molecule with the release of ATP and electrons which are carried by NADH molecules.
The process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and requires 10 glycolytic enzymes.
The pyruvate molecules from glycolysis is first oxidized to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide molecules. The acetyl-CoA molecules enter the citric acid cycle occurring in the mitochondria and are used up in the production of ATP, CO2, and electrons carried by NADH and FADH2.
The electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 from glycolysis and citric acid cycle are used in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway occurring inside the mitochondrion for transformation of oxygen molecules into water molecules with release of ATP.
