Water molecules diffuse through the cell membrane through aquaporins. How are these proteins helpful in osmosis?

Biology
1 answer:
romanna [79]3 years ago

Answer:

Aquaporins acts as water channels that conduct water to and fro cell membrane during osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is a type of cellular transport in which water moves from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane. The osmotic process occurs with the aid of selective protein channels called AQUAPORINS. They allow only the passage of water and prevent that of ions and solutes.

Aquaporins help in the osmotic process by creating a channel for the passage of water molecules across the membrane. In other words, aquaporins facilitate the speedy movement of water molecules across membranes via osmosis, which is normally slow due to the POLARITY OF WATER MOLECULES.

2. The best way to determine if you are using a halogenated solvent is to:
goldfiish [28.3K]
The best way to determine the presence of halogens is by adding a silver nitrate solution to the solvent. This is because all halogens, except for fluorine, produce a precipitate with silver nitrate solution.Chlorine produces a white precipitate, bromine produces a pale cream colored precipitate and iodine produces a yellow colored precipitate.
If further testing is required, concentrated sulfuric acid may be added. The sulfuric acid will produce misty fumes with fluorine and chlorine, brown fumes with bromine and purple fumes with iodine.

hope this helped :)
