Non polar molecule move across a membrane through simple diffusion, when moving up their concentration gradient. Simple diffusion involves movement of molecules through a membrane without the help of integral membrane protein. These molecules are driven by the force of diffusion. This is different from facilitated diffusion where molecules only move with the aid of integral protein in the membrane.
Answer:
A source from which organisms generally take elements is called exchange pool (option B).
Explanation:
Options for this question are:
- <em>Food web.</em>
- <em>Exchange pool.</em>
- <em>Reservoir.</em>
- <em>Biotic community.</em>
The term exchange pool is related to the biogeochemical cycles that exist in nature, referring to the source from which elements present in the environment become part of living organisms.
<u>Exchange pools are the biotic components</u> -like animals and plants- of an ecosystem, which determine the passage of elements between living beings. An element can remain as a reservoir (abiotic) in the soil, and then be incorporated into the exchange pool.
Answer:
Osmosis is the process cells use to move water molecules in and out of the cell through the cell membrane. When cells are put in different environments they will try to maintain an equilibrium with the water concentration outside the cell. Through osmosis the cell will lose or gain water molecules to become equal to the concentration in their environment.
Explanation:
An insect bite on the face produces a break in the skin which introduces the normal skin flora (usually <em>Staphylococcus </em>and <em>Streptococcus</em>) to the sterile subcutaneous tissue causing inflammation. The inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue is called cellulitis. Since the infection is in the face, then it can travel from the infected site to the meninges through the cavernous sinuses and cause bacterial meningitis.
Answer:
U-A-C-G-G-A-U-G-C--C-C-C-C-G-G-U
Explanation:
The mRNA (messenger RNA) is produced via the process of TRANSCRIPTION, which is the first stage of gene expression in living cells. The mRNA sequence formed is further read in the ribosomes in a group of three nucleotides called CODONS. This reading is done by another type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA).
The tRNA uses a set of three nucleotide bases that are complementary to that of the mRNA codons called ANTICODON. The anticodons are complementary to the mRNA codon i.e. A on the mRNA sequence will be read and recognized by U on the tRNA anticodon.
Hence, given the mRNA sequence: A-U-G-C-C-U-A-C-G-G-G-G-G-C-C-A, the tRNA anticodons that will read this sequence will be: U-A-C-G-G-A-U-G-C--C-C-C-C-G-G-U
