Answer:

When a potato chip is put into salt water, the potato cells become flaccid (soft and floppy). This is because there is a higher concentration of water molecules inside the potato cells than outside. If more water enters the cell, it becomes turgid. This is important in supporting plants.

Which step can occur even more rapidly by PCR?a. target DNA removed from cells and isolated b. cloning host treated with calcium
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

E. Gene is amplified by multiplication of cloning host

Explanation:

PCR is a very powerful technique that can help us to amplify exponentially one gene from a very small sample of DNA.

As seen in the attached image, the process begins with a single DNA molecule, for the first cycle, that DNA molecule denaturalizes into two strands, the primers bind to their complementary sides and then the DNA polymerase builds the new DNA strands. The number of copies of the gene that can be obtained with each cycle are 2ⁿ copies, where n is the cycle number.

Based on the model of cellular transport, the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP provide a mechanism for
Ronch [10]

Answer:

<em>Cellular transport is the movement of ions or molecules across the membrane of the cell through either active or passive process.</em>

Explanation:

During active transport, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used. In passive transport, ATP is not used. In active cellular transport, the ions move across the membrane against the concentration gradient.

For ATP to be used, it has to get hydrolyzed thereby forming ADP and inorganic phosphate. On the other hand, ADP captures the energy through the oxidation process taking place in the cell.
