Answer:
(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.
Explanation:
The function of AQP5 (an aquaporin) is to allow the water to move into or out of the cell down the concentration gradient. When placed in hypotonic solutions, the internal environment of HEK cells will be hypertonic. Water always moves from hypotonic (higher water concentration) to hypertonic (lower water concentration) solution.
Hence, the HEK cells exposed to the hypotonic conditions will localize AQP5 in their membranes to allow the water to move from out hypotonic conditions to the inner hypertonic environment.
Answer & explanation:
Fungi have long been regarded as organisms that were part of the <em>Plantae</em> kingdom (plants), mainly because they have cell walls in their cells, reproduce by spores, and the fact that some of them are sessile (attached to the ground).
However, fungi are no longer considered as plants because they do not have chlorophyll or specialized cells, such as chloroplasts and vacuoles. In addition, fungi have heterotrophic nutrition (plants are autotrophic), needing to absorb organic substances to survive.
Nowadays, fungi are studied in isolation and are inserted in their own kingdom, the <em>Fungi</em> kingdom.
Answer:
Activated
Explanation:
In the presence of lactose, and in the absence of glucose, lactose will bind to a protein called a "repressor," deactivating it. Through this, RNA polymerase has a free way to synthesize the mRNA that will give enzymes for lactose degradation.
