What happens when the concentration of salt molecules is lower outside the cell than inside

Biology
1 answer:
miskamm [114]4 years ago
8 0
A scenario such as this often defines the extracellular fluid as being "hypertonic", simply meaning that the fluid surrounding the cell has a higher solute concentration than that of the cell. Hypertonicity would subsequently result in "crenation" of the cell. This means that in order to maintain equilibrium, the intracellular fluid rushes into the extracellular environment and the cell shrivels.

Proton pumps embedded in the cell membrane use ATP to move hydrogen ions across the membrane. Which of the following best descri
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Although protons resemble other positive ions such as Na+ and K+ in their movement across membranes, in some respects they are unique. Hydrogen atoms are by far the most abundant type of atom in living organisms; they are plentiful not only in all carbon-containing biological molecules, but also in the water molecules that surround them. The protons in water are highly mobile, flickering through the hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules by rapidly dissociating from one water molecule to associate with its neighbor, Protons are thought to move across a protein pump embedded in a lipid bilayer in a similar way: they transfer from one amino acid side chain to another, following a special channel through the protein.

It comprises the processes that the body requires to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person need to keep the body operational at a state of rest.
