Answer:

c) G2

Explanation:

A cell cycle is the chorological order of events that allow them to divide and produce new cells. The cell cycle consists of interphase and M (mitosis). Interphases includes gap1(G1), synthesis (S-phase)  and gap 2 (G2) phase.  

During S-phase or synthesis phase, the cell replicates or duplicates its DNA. Coping of DNA requires lots of energy because replication requires synthesis of lots of nucleotides. At the end of S-phase, the cell have two complete sets of genetic material.

During G2 phase cells both the copies of their DNA are correct and intact. Thus, as per question, during G2 phase it can be observed that the nucleus of a cell contain 6 picograms of DNA.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

In G2 phase (third phase of interphase) of cell division, following the S phase. It is during the S phase of the cell division during which the DNA of the cell replicates. Hence, in the G2 has double the DNA range as compared to the DNA range in prior stages of interphase. Also, in G2 phase cell grows and protein synthesize

Option C is correct

The mitochondrial matrix has what charge compared with the intermembrane space?
Solnce55 [7]
The matrix (inside mito) has a negative charge compared to the intermembrane space (outside of mito but still inside) because positively charged protons are constantly pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space. A cell oxidizes an organic molecule producing 3 NADH molecules and 3 FADH2 molecules..

This type of membrane transport moves substances against the concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to an area
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer</u>:- Active transport

<u>Explanation</u>:-

There are two types of membrane transports

1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from <em>high concetration to low concentration.</em>

2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from <em>low concentration to high concentration.</em>

<em>The active transport is of two types:</em>

1. <em>Primary active transport-</em> in this type of transport <em>ATP</em> is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.

2.<em>Secondary active transport</em> - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.


  • The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as <em>carrier proteins</em>. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.

So, the <em>active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.</em>
