Answer:
The correct order, from fastest to slowest, for the passage of molecules and ions through the cell membrane is oxygen, sodium ions, glucose (option D).
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer, with glycoproteins and membrane proteins, which constitutes a semi-permeable barrier to the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
The speed with which a substance can pass through the membrane depends on its chemical properties -hydrophilic substances pass through with greater difficulty than lipophilic ones- requiring in some cases specialized transport mechanisms. The different rates with which a substance passes depends on this.
- <em>Oxygen (O₂) </em><em>passes through simple diffusion, depending on a concentration gradient. It's the molecule that passes through the membrane the fastest.
</em>
- <em>In second place, there would be the </em><em>Na⁺ ions</em><em> -charged atoms- that cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, through specific ionic channels.
</em>
- <em>The </em><em>glucose</em><em> molecule, being larger, requires the use of transport proteins, being its passage through the membrane slower with respect to oxygen or sodium.</em>
Undoubtedly, molecular weight and affinity for the plasma membrane are determining factors for the passage of molecules through the lipid bilayer.

Answer:
linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci
Explanation:
If two genes are not linked, number of recombinants and parental offspring will be equal. Here it is clearly visible that recombinants are less than parental offspring hence the genes are linked. Given, the offspring are in following numbers:
AaBb = 106 = Parental
aabb = 94 = Parental
Aabb = 48 = Recombinant
aaBb = 52 = Recombinant
Recombination frequency = (Number of recombinants/ Total progeny) * 100 = (100/300) * 100 = 33.33 %
1% recombination frequency= 1 map unit of distance between the two gene loci. So here the distance between the two gene loci is approximately 33 map units.
Hence, these results are consistent with linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci

Carbohydrates glycaemic index (GI)
Glycemic index estimates
carbohydrates containing food based on how they increase the glucose in the
body. Foods are rated by comparing them to a reference food. Foods with high glycaemic
index increases blood glucose than foods with average or low glyceamic index. When taking foods with high GI, low GI foods
should be combined with it in order to balance the meal. Examples of low GI
foods are corn, most fruits, and yam. Medium GI foods include pita bread and
whole wheat. Puffed rice, instant oatmeals are examples of foods with high GI.
