There are specific methods to be used when measuring the rate of diffusion over a membrane.

In order to accurately measure the rate of diffusion for water through this permeable membrane you need to account for:

  • The difference in pressure
  • The surface area of the membrane
  • The diffusion barrier

It would be correct to state that the speed at which any movement of water occurs is dependent on the pressure being exerted onto the water. This means that when attempting to calculate the rate of diffusion we need to account for the pressure difference. This pressure will be caused by the osmotic gradient.

You will also need to account for the surface area of the membrane and the diffusion barrier. The <u>surface area </u>of the membrane allows us to understand how much <u>space </u>the water has to be able to move from one side to the other. Meanwhile, the <u>diffusion barrier </u>tells us how much <u>resistance </u>the water will have to overcome when diffusing.

By taking all of these parameters into account, we can then use Fick's law to accurately calculate the rate of diffusion for the water and therefore the amount of water that is diffusing through the membrane.

Which gas passes from the air sacs in the lungs into the blood capillaries? b. Where does this gas pass out of the bloodstream?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

  • Oxygen
  • The body cells
  • Producing energy

Explanation:

We breathe in oxygen from the external environment. Oxygen passes into our lungs and is passed into the blood capilaries.  Here it is carried to all the cells throughout the body.

It diffuses into the cells and is necessary for the final stages of energy production by aerobic respiration. Therefore, it is necessary for powering all cellular processes.

Using your knowledge of Punnett squares and hybridization, what is the probability that a purebred monohybrid, dihybrid, three-f
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

No matter how many factors are in the cross, if an 2 purebred (homozygous individuals) are crossed, (one dominant, one recessive) the dominant phenotype will always be displayed.

Imagine a cross with between two individuals true breeding for 6 traits. One shows all dominant genotypes, one shows all recessive genotypes. The only gametes those individuals can pass on will always produce heterozygotes.

AABBCCDDEEFFGG x aabbccddeeffgg

The first individual can only give ABCDEFG alleles. The second individual can only give abcdefg alleles. Therefore, all offspring will be AaBbCcDdEeFfGg, and will therefore express the dominant trait.

Describe the ATP molecule and its function within a cell.
geniusboy [140]
ATP stores and transports energy in the cells, usually in the mitochondria. Energy is released by hydrolysis (carbohydrates being broken down into sugar molecules), which eventually results in forming ADP (adenosine diphosphate) that absorbs the energy and recharges the phosphate group and ATP
