Also for this question I think the answer is b am I correct?

All of the following plant transport processes are directly driven by osmosis , except one .which one does not directly involve osmosis?
A guard cells losing turgor pressure
B oxygen diffusion into leaves
C transpiration
D translocation

Yes, the correct answer to this multiple-choice question is B.

This is because:
💧Osmosis = Is a type of water diffusion from molecules of a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, through a selectively permeable membrane.

📌But, option "B" involves the word, 'Diffusion' 💨, which is the movement of molecules other than water from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration

Hope this helps,

Hello for this multiple choice question is the answer c?

Some living cells were maintained in a culture medium under aerobic conditions. They were supplied with glucose labelled with radioactive carbon-14? Which of the following is likely to be true

A carbon14 atoms would be found in NADH
B carbon 14 atoms would be found in atp

C carbon 14 atoms would be found in carbon dioxide produced by the cells
D Carbon 14 atoms would be found in pyruvate

Thanks

Would the answer for this question be d??

Which of the following best describes a gene?
A a single DNA molecule wound around proteins
B one leg of a pair of blue denim pants
C an allele that exists in 2 or more forms
D. A sequence of DNA nucleotides that encode a protein
Thanks!

Isn’t translocation the movement of sugars though not the movement of water?

Yes, that's true I just modified the above answer. Translocation is the movement of sugars and other food substances from the leaves to rest of the plant via the Phloem, not the movement of water.

I would say the answer to this question is "D".

Because:
Genes are made up of sequences of DNA nucleotides and these genes encode for proteins which control cell function. Thus, I would say "D" is the answer as it sounds most correct.

Hope this helps,

Sorry for all the questions...

How would you explain the relationship between the circulatory and respiratory systems?
They both work together to maintain homeostasis ..?

hello, i have a question
which organisms undergo mitosis without cytokinesis following and why would cells which undergo mitosis and not cytokinesis have 1 cell and 2 nuclei?


Thanks

Hi, I think that's a great way of explaining it!

You can talk specifically about the homeostasis mechanisms they are involved. e.g. balance of O2 and CO2.

You could even say that they are codependent on each other - because the circulatory system provides O2 rich blood to the lungs and respiratory muscles, and the lungs provide an oyxgen supply for the heart muscle to stay healthy.  :)

Hi!

This is a tricky question! I'm not entirely sure why the answer is c, but maybe it's something to do with CO2 being the only option that is a by-product of aerobic respiration - whereas the others are helpful metabolites!

Hopefully someone else may have a better idea of why it's C.  :)

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's C. The question states "aerobic conditions" so that implies that aerobic cellular respiration was being observed. In cellular respiration, the reactants are glucose (which was supplied with radioactive carbon-14) and oxygen, whilst the products are carbon dioxide and water. The logical aim of this experiment would be to trace the movement of the glucose molecules and the logical conclusion would be that the carbon-14 isotope ends up in the carbon dioxide product. Therefore, the answer should be C.

Yes. The liver breaks down excess amino acids (which make up protein) to make ammonia, then converts this into urea.

For this question:

Atp synthase produces atp.....

A during the electron transport chain in the krebs cycle of cellular respiration
B only during glycolysis in cellular respiration
C in cellular respiration and the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis
D directly from the photolysis of water

Would it be a??

Thank you for your help!
