The process of osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
If 1% sugar solution is placed in pure water, then there would be a higher concentration of water molecules outside the cell compared to inside the cell. The solution outside the cell would be hypo-tonic (containing fewer solute molecules than inside the cell). Water will move into the cell by inward osmosis and the cell would then swell.
What is ATP? why is it an important product of cellular respiration? ATP is stored energy. ATP is an important part because it is the energy that living things that cant go through photosynthesis have to ingest in order to recieve energy
Giraffes and Elephants: Giraffes have adapted a long neck over time letting them eat and access food allowing them to survive. If a dry season was unusually long they would succeed fine because they are able to eat and drink from the trees. Elephants have survived with similar tactics of eating higher up, they have rough skin allowing them to outlast the heat, and only need water after long periods of time.
<span>Out of the following given
choices;</span>
A. The Geiger counter
being used to detect radiation is broken.
B. Two or more samples
we accidentally swapped, causing confusion.
C. A virus contaminated
the reaction in which the probe was made.
D. The human genome
might contain at least one viral gene.
The answer is D. This means that the viral DNA inserted itself
in the human tissue DNA aand became a prophage. A prophage is a latent form of
viral infection where the inserted viral DNA has no interference with the host
cell biochemical processes. The prophage will be present in the daughter cells
of the host cells.
