Which process is most likely involved in the change in red blood cell volume?

Biology
2 answers:
lianna [129]3 years ago

Answer:

Diffusion

Explanation:

The diffusion is the transport of molecules. The molecules are transported from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. The change in the volume of red blood cells occurs by the process of diffusion.

The RBCs carry oxygen and it is involved in transfer of oxygen from lungs. During the time of respiration in cell, a decline in level of oxygen and glucose occurs inside RBCs. The process of diffusion allows the movement of oxygen and glucose into RBCs.

The process that is most likely involved in the change in red blood cell volume would be diffusion. <span>When a cell is respiring the concentration of oxygen and glucose inside the cell is lower than the surrounding </span>blood<span> so these substances move into the cell. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Which model of replication did the actual results of the Meselson-Stahl experiment support? Explain your answer.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Semi-conservative replication

Explanation:

After the double-helix discovery of Watson and Crick, there were three possible models about the DNI replication:

  • The Conservative model stated that the two strands of DNI together were the template of another new molecule. The final product was the original double-stranded molecule and the new molecule.
  • The semi-conservative model stated that the original DNI molecule separated into two strands, and each of them served as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. The replication product would be two double-stranded DNA molecules, each carrying an original strand a new one.
  • The Dispersive moles stated that the replication product would be two molecules made by a mixture of segments of the original and the new molecules.

Meselson and Stahl joined to discover which of the models was the correct one. To do it they used E. coli and Nitrogen isotopes.

  • First, they extracted DNI from bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁴ and got its density band by centrifugation.
  • Then they grew bacteria in a medium with N¹⁵, extracted their DNI molecules, centrifugated them, and got the density band, which was heavier than the firsts ones.
  • The researchers then transferred bacteria grown in medium with N¹⁵  to a medium with N¹⁴, and they allowed only one replication process to occur. DNI was extracted and centrifugated again, and a new band appeared. This band was an intermediate form between bands of DNI-N¹⁵ and DNI-N¹⁴.

This event <em>eliminated the conservative model</em>. If this model were correct, the expected result would be to get two bands: one corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁵ and the other corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁴.

  • Bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁵ and then transferred to a medium with N¹⁴ were finally allowed to replicate twice. Their DNI was extracted and centrifugated. The result was two bands: one of them coincided with the intermediate band, and the other one with the DNI-N¹⁴.

<u>This result was conclusive</u> because if the dispersal model were correct, these two bands should not appear, as all the DNI strands would have part of the original molecule.

With this experiment, Meselson and Stahl proved that the correct replication model was the semi-conservative one.

If a plant has a high concentration of minerals inside its root cells, but does not have enough energy for active transport, wha
inna [77]

Answer:

The minerals will not be move or transported to other part of the plants because active transport require energy.

Explanation:

Active transport is a process where molecules and ions are move against a concentration gradient by using energy.

This process require energy, for ions or molecules of minerals to be taken up by plants, it is first moved to the root hairs where they are in high concentration against in dilute concentration on soil Active Transport then occur in the roots where it is taken up to the plants with the use of energy.

If there is not enough energy, active transport will not occur and the minerals will remain in the root hair and will not be move to other part of the plant.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

He need to eat 275 g

Explanation:

2000 = 100

5500 = 2000÷100= 20 = 5500÷20 = 275

He need to eat 275 g
