Answer:

pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water. Water that has more free hydrogen ions is acidic, whereas water that has more free hydroxyl ions is basic. Since pH can be affected by chemicals in the water, pH is an important indicator of water that is changing chemically.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- D.

Which of the letters above best models a molecule of water moving into the membrane via an aquaporin?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Letter B.

Explanation:

Aquaporins, also known as "water channels," are the main transport of water through the membranes of plant, animal, and bacterial cells. These channels allow the water to travel into and within cells and, at the same time, exclude the passage of ions and solutes.

What makes letter B the correct answer, is the form of transport and shape of the channel that allow water according to the osmotic gradient. In this model, letter A shows simple diffusion, while C and D seem to illustrate gated channels.
