Answer:

<u>Active transport across membranes is like refilling an empty soda can after pouring the soda into a cup. It takes effort (energy in the form of ATP) to pour the soda back into the can, it wouldn't typically happen on its own.</u>

Explanation:

Cells use several transport mechanisms to move substances across their plasma membranes. Plasma membranes control all movement of substances through passive transport, which does not use energy; and active transport which requires chemical energy in the form of ATP.

Active transport moves substances out of cells against their gradients. In the cell, glucose can be transported inwards for respiration. However, because the internal environment is typically concentrated, (and glucose is needed in high amounts) this requires the use of transport enzymes and ATP.

Which of the following statements describes integral membrane proteins?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The correct answer is option - C.

Explanation:

Integral proteins are integrated proteins that are extended into the cytoplasm from the outer side of the cell. As it is known bilipid layer is fluid in nature it move around the cell layer.

These are the proteins also known as intrinsic proteins that contain parts with the side chains that are hydrophobic in nature. These are tightly located or packed between the hydrophobic amino acids and the membrane due to hydrophobic effects.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.

Question 12 Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)

Digiron [165]

From the principle of mass conservation in a chemical process, the total mass of the reactants should be the same as the total mass of the products. So, the best answer here would be the first statement.

This is entirely theoretical as photosynthesis is neither a completely efficient process nor does it take place in an isolated system.

The second statement is incorrect since the products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen gas, which are completely different compounds from the water and carbon dioxide reactants.

The third statement is incorrect not only because it contradicts the principle of mass conservation, but because—if anything—mass is lost in the course of an inefficient chemical process like photosynthesis in the form of energy wasted as heat.

The last statement is incorrect for the same reason as the second statement is incorrect; the products are completely different substances from the reactants. For example, one of the products—glucose—can undergo combustion. One of the reactants, water, cannot combust.
