Answer:

A. passive transport by diffusion

Explanation:

Diffusion and osmosis are both types of passive transport. They do not require energy. Diffusion is the general term for the process. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules.

Many small, uncharged molecules can cross the cell membrane by diffusion. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are examples of two small molecules that pass the cell membrane by passive transport.

Larger or charged molecules require energy to cross the cell membrane. This is achieved by active transport.

b. Bacteria

Explanation:

Cell walls with lipopolysaccharide are present in gram Negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane in their cell wall which is composed of lipopolysaccharides.

The lipopolysaccharides are the molecules that have both lipids and proteins. The lipopolysaccharide layer that forms the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is present outside to their thin peptidoglycan layer.

Answer:

He should get his mitochondrial haplotype sequenced, given the genetic variation in mitochondrial sequences compared to Y chromosomes.

Explanation:

Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes are specific regions of mitochondrial DNA that cluster with other mitochondrial sequences to show the phylogenetic origins of maternal lineages.
Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes are associated with a range of phenotypes and disease.
Mitochondrial DNA contains 37 genes, all of which are essential for normal mitochondrial function.
Thirteen of these genes provide instructions for making enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation.
