(b) Describe the characteristics of the interior of the aquaporin channel protein that allow water to flow through AND exclude g

lucose.

Answer:

Aquaporin protein is a type of protein composed of a bundle of six transmembrane α-helices.

Explanation:

Aquaporin protein is a type of protein composed of a bundle of six transmembrane α-helices. These aquaporin protein have different size of water channels that allow water through to pass through it but it does not allow glucose to move through it due to its large size. The direction of water movement is toward the cell because there is low water inside the cell as compared to outside environment so the water moves inside the cell and  rate of water movement slows down over time due to filling of empty spaces with water.

After which checkpoint is the cell first committed to continue the cell cycle through M?
Viktor [21]

The correct answer is: B) G1

Normal cells (unlike cancer cells), move through the cell cycle in a regulated way in order to make sure that cells don't divide under conditions that are unfavorable for them. Information about their own internal state (nutrients, signal molecules, DNA integrity) is signal to go or not to go through the cell division. Because of that there are few checkpoints in the cell cycle at which the cell examines the signals and makes a “decision”. The major checkpoints are:

• The G1- the first point at which it must choose, once it passes the G1 checkpoint the cell enters S phase

• The G2-the cell checks DNA integrity and checks if replication is done well.

• The spindle checkpoint-at the transition from metaphase to anaphase.

As a fertilized egg divides , the cells differentiate because they?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: The fertilized egg divides and the cells differentiate to become all of the different cell types of a human, the DNA molecules of the fertilized egg must be duplicated over and over, so that each of our trillions of cells contains an exact copy of the DNA contained in the fertilized egg.

How does waste filtered by kidneys leave the body?
erica [24]

Answer:

The fluid that is filtered out from the blood then travels down a tiny tube-like structure called a tubule. The tubule adjusts the level of salts, water, and wastes that will leave the body in the urine.

Urine leaves the kidneys and travels through the ureters to the bladder.
