A Paramecium has an internal sucrose concentration of 0.040 M, a glucose concentration of 0.035 M, and a fructose concentration

of 0.0050 M. The Paramecium is placed in an aqueous solution that has solute concentrations of 0.025 M for sucrose, glucose, and fructose. Which solutes will diffuse out of the Paramecium?
a. Glucose and fructose
b.Sucrose and fructose
c.Sucrose and glucose
d. Sucrose, glucose, and fructose

Answer:

<u>c. Sucrose and glucose</u>

Explanation:

The paramecium is a large, single-celled microbes, surrounded by a plasma membrane. Simple diffusion occurs in cells across plasma membranes, as a form of passive transport. In diffusion, solutes move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration across the plasma membrane.

Here, the internal environment has higher concentrations of sucrose and glucose, but lower concentrations of fructose, thus the solutes will move along their concentration gradient, to where the concentrations are lower. In order for the fructose molecules to move out of the cell, the molecules have to move against their concentration gradient - a process requiring energy known as active transport.

If used with wisdom, the earth has sufficient resources to sustain its human population. True False
romanna [79]
True. If we all work together to conserve our resources, then the earth will be able to sustain its human population. In this century, many people don't really care about conserving resources because they are too careless to think about how much resources we are wasting on a daily basis. If everyone realizes how much resources we are wasting and helps to conserve them, than earth will have sufficient resources to sustain its human population.
hope this helps:)
