1) Describe the process of osmosis

1 answer:

3 0

1. Osmosis is a process which occurs when there is a difference in solute concentration between two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane.

2. Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane. It is also defined as the measure of the tendency of a solution to take in pure solvent by osmosis.

3. The semipermeable membrane limits the diffusion of solutes in the water.

4. In an isotonic solution, the flow of water in and out of the cell is happening at the same rate. ... Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis.

5. Osmosis is basically diffusion with water. ... The most common example of facilitated diffusion is the movement of water across a cell membrane through transmembrane proteins, which requires no energy. They are simply powered by the concentration differences of the molecules between the two sides of the cell membrane.

maria [59]

Answer:

In grassland ecosystem, first trophic level is the producer. Producers are the organisms which makes their own food, here the producer are grasses. The second trohic level contain herbivores which feed on these grasses. These herbivores are eaten by secondary consumers which belongs to third trophic level and secondary consumers are then eaten by tertiary consumer.

The population of producers are very high so it is placed at the base while tertiary consumer are placed on the top due to low population.

During periods of intense activity, when glycolysis is used in the generation of atp, the reaction lies to the right, decreasing

umka21 [38]

Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a regulatory molecule in metabolic processes such as glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. For example, it stimulates the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase, and therefore ATP production, and it inhibits the gluconeogenic enzyme fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase. Adenylate kinase catalyzes the reversible reaction shown here:

2ADP --> ATP + AMP

During periods of intense activity, when glycolysis is used in the generation of ATP, the reaction lies to the right, decreasing [ADP], generating ATP, and accumulating AMP. However, [ATP] is usually much greater than [ADP], and [ADP] is greater than [AMP].

Determine [AMP] when 3% of the ATP in a hypothetical cell is hydrolyzed to ADP.

In this cell, the initial concentration of ATP is 265 ?M, and the total adenine nucleotide concentration (the concentration of ATP, ADP, and AMP) is 368 ?M. The equilibrium constant K is 0.82
