What is the best description of osmosis?

Biology
2 answers:
katen-ka-za [31]3 years ago

Net movement of molecules across the nuclear membrane until the number of molecules on each side is nearly equal

Explanation:

The net spontaneous movement of the molecules of a solvent  through the selective membrane to an area of higher concentration of the solvent is the process of Osmosis.  

By this process in a solvent separates the 2 solutions of various concentrations. The pressure through which the movements were initiated is the ‘osmotic pressure’. The membrane should be permeable for molecule movements.

Answer:

Movement of water from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration

Explanation:

Osmosis is movement of only WATER. Diffusion would be the moving of any other substance other than water.

mina [271]

As this procedure is carried out in the natural habitats of this species, this is an <em>in-situ conservation</em>.

<em>In-situ conservation </em>is the type of conservation that occurs on site, where the natural populations of plants or animals are found.

imagine a cell-surface receptor protein is being newly synthesized. How can it get into the membrane that it will ultimately be
motikmotik

Answer:

the steps for a new receptor synthesis:

Explanation:

Do not forget the steps vary from an eukarityc cell to prokarityc one.  

IN AN EUKARYOTIC CELL:

1- Transcription: in the nucleus, mRNA is synthesized from the DNA sequence that codifies the protein. Exons are spliced if needed by spliceosomes.  

2- From nucleus into cytoplasm: mRNA goes through nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm were ribosomes, substrates for protein synthesis and other organelles are.

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)  

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- (The mRNA has a signal that is recognized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum) The peptide goes into this reticulum (RER) and then into Golgi apparatus. (more chemical modifications are made if needed). By this moment the protein has an inserted portion in a lipid membrane.

6- The protein is transported in a vessel that finally fusions with cytoplasmic membrane and the receptor is in destiny. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

IN A PROKARYTIC CELL:

1- Transcription (no splicing is needed, there are not exons)

2- There are not nucleus and cytoplasm divided (no transport)

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- The mRNA has a signal that is guides the growing protein to cellular membrane. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.
