The passive transport used by water molecules to move across a cell membrane is called Osmosis.

In the case of water molecules, they do not require any specialized help to cross the cell membrane, for this reason, option B which indicates diffusion through the help of carrier proteins, is false. Option C is false as well given that Endocytosis is a form of active transport.

The remaining options are Diffusion and Osmosis. Though very similar, there is one key difference between the two. Diffusion occurs when particles move from a place of higher concentration to a lower concentration point, in order to achieve equilibrium.

The difference from Osmosis is that in Osmosis, the solvent particles can move without the need for other particles to move. This is the case for the small water molecules and because of this, the correct option is A.

Oliga [24]

Answer: The maximum number of amino acids that could be coded is 2

Explanation:

  • A codon in this microorganism is 2 bases instead of 3 bases .
  • In order to encode a protein a sequence requires a start and stop codon
  • If you assume no start codon: then only 2 bases would make up the stop codon.
  • This leaves 4 bases which is 2 codons. This would encode 2 amino acids.

  • If you assume a start and stop codon, then each codon would be allocated 2 base pairs each =  4 base pairs
  • This only leaves 2 base pairs, a single codon which would only code for 1 amino acid

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Their answer about the location or function of the cells.

Explanation:

Since there are no options to select as the answer, i will just try my best to list a couple of them.

Langerhans Cells are from the family of cells named "Dendritic Cells" because of their tree like shapes. They can be found on parts of our body that come into contact with foreign environments or particles, such as skin, on the inside of our mouth, nose and stomach etc.

The nursing instructor could evaluate the students' knowledge by asking them where Langerhans Cells are located in our body, on which layer of our skin they can be found or what their primary functions are.

I hope this answer helps.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The answer is Carotid Murmur.

Explanation:

The carotid murmur is the presence of an abnormal noise that is heard with the stethoscope placed on the lateral wall of the patient's neck, almost always due to a stenosis of the carotid artery; that is to say, there is a narrowing in the lumen of the vessel, decreasing the amount of blood that goes to the face, head and brain. This narrowness of the vessel is presented by the accumulation of plaques within the arteries (arteriosclerosis).
