Dafna1 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct option is A. The cell is sitting in a hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

A hypertonic solution is a solution in which there are more number of solutes present in the solution than inside the cell. The solutes then tend to pass into the cell through diffusion from the solution.

As it can be seen in the diagram, the concentration of salt is more in the solution i.e 40%. Hence, the salt from the solution enters into the cell by diffusion and has a concentration of 10% inside the cell which shows the cell to be placed in a hypertonic environment.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Pancreas.

Explanation:

Pancreas is an organ that acts as both exocrine as well as endocrine gland. As exocrine gland, it secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine that help in digestion of complex food molecules.

As an endocrine gland, it secretes glucagon (from alpha cells) and insulin (from beta cells) hormones, directly into the bloodstream. Both of these hormones are responsible for the regulation of blood sugar level in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is 'pancreas.'

Kay [80]

Answer:

1. Part A: No

2. Part B: Yes

3: Part C : Yes

4: Part D : No

Explanation:

1) Part A: Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell:

No; sodium ion co - transport is required for active transport of glucose but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose

2) Part B: Active transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosa:

Yes; co - transport of sodium ions drives the inward movement of amino acids and can only occur if sodium ions are actively pumped back out again.

3) Part C: Uptake of potassium ions by red blood cells:

Yes; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of sodium ions.

4) Part D: Active uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestine

No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a proton gradient.
