Answer:
<h2>C. placing carrier proteins in the membrane.</h2>
Explanation:
If there is no barrier preventing molecules from moving molecules, then there will be large movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This passive process is known as diffusion. The phospholipid bilayer of a cell's membrane works as a barrier to large molecules, ions, and most hydrophilic molecules. Whereas small hydrophobic molecules can pass freely through the phospholipid bilayer, other molecules and ions are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Some transport proteins, allowing hydrophilic molecules and ions to passively move through them and across the cell membrane.
Examples: carrier proteins and channel proteins.
Placing carrier proteins in the cell membrane will allow the molecule to reach equal concentrations on the both the sides of the membrane and maintain that way over long time. In contrast, transport proteins known as pumps will use cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.
Placing equal numbers of intracellularly directed and extracellularly directed pumps would also equalize the concentrations of a molecule long over time. Pumps are to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, such as the sodium-potassium pump continuously moves sodium ions out of a cell.
Through the use of carrier proteins, there is equalization of concentrations of a hydrophilic molecule. This equalize the numbers of molecules on the inside and outside of the cell, but the pumps would continue moving the molecule inward, eventually resulting in more molecules inside of the cell than out.
Answer:
Mono: Monosaccharide sugars
Di: Disaccharide sugars
Poly: Polysaccharide sugars
The reason for adding the prefixes Mono,Do and Poly Infront of the three types of sugars is to show how many sugars are in each molecule right off the bat.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Naturally: only during daylight hours
Artificially: all 24 hours (under perfect circumstances)
Explanation:
Photosynthesis can only occur when a plant receives energy from a light source. Naturally, the light source would be the sun which is only around for a certain amount of hours. If the plant is under an artificial light source, like a lamp, then photosynthesis can occur at all hours of the day.
If a repressor protein attaches to the operator, RNA polymerase cannot proceed to transcribe key enzymes needed by the organism. This can be seen in the trp operon in E .coli bacteria.
I believe the first and last answers are the most environmentally conscious answers.
