Indirectly to the fact that it does not need energy to transport water from a concentration gradient. Hence, osmosis is directed towards concentration gradient which then is called facilitated osmosis.

Answer:

The osmosis refers to the movement of water down the concentration gradient of water across the semi-permeable.

The rate of osmosis depends directly on the concentration gradient.

However, it may indirectly depend upon factors such as the surface area of a cell and temperature.

Cells reduce their size in order to increase the surface area to volume ratio. It increases the rate of osmosis.

Similarly, with an increase in the temperature the rate of osmosis also increases.

You created a serial dilution of 10-1 to 10-6 of a sample containing phages. Assume that you properly diluted your samples so th
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the question the difference between the dilution of every two successive tubes is 10. The second tube is diluted by a factor of 10 as compared to the first tube, the third tube is diluted by a factor of 10 as compared to the second tube and so on.

It means the amount of phages in two successive tubes is also different by a factor of 10. The amount of phages in the second tube is 10 times lower than the amount of phages in the first tube, the amount of phages in the third tube is 10 times lower than the amount of phages in the second tube and so on.

So we can expect that if we plate these phages into a bacterial lawn and they lead to the formation of plaques, then the number of plaques between two successive plates will be different by a factor of 10. The number of plaques in the second plate will be 10 times lower as compared to the first plate and the number of plaques will be 10 times lower in the the third plate as compared to the second plate and so on.

What surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The plasma membrane is made up by a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that separates the internal contents of the cell from its surrounding environment. Only relatively small, non- polar materials can easily move through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane.
