Step by step solution

01

Incubation time

In the given experimentation case, the incubation time term refers to the time in minutes when the guinea pig's cell was in contact with radioactive glucose.

The cells were kept in a solution of three hundred mill molar at an optimum temperature condition of twenty-five degrees Celsius. The time frame has been taken at the gap of ten minutes up to sixty minutes.

02

Glucose absorption and incubation time

In the case of fifteen days old guinea pigs, the absorption of glucose at zero minutes is zero, the absorption is fifty at ten minutes, at twenty minutes, absorption is seventy, after thirty minutes, absorption is around eighty-five, and at forty-five, the absorption is around ninety-five. At sixty minutes, it is more than a hundred.

In the case of a one-month-old guinea pig, absorption is less than that of a fifteen-day-old guinea pig. At zero minutes, it is the same as that of fifteen old day guinea pig. Still, at ten minutes, it is around twenty, at twenty minutes, it is about thirty, at thirty minutes, it is approximately forty, and at 45 mins, it is also forty-five. At the end of the hour, it is around fifty-five.

Sodium potassium pumps help nerve cells establish a voltage across their plasma membranes. Do these pumps use ATP or produce ATP? Explain.

Question: An artificial cell consisting of an aqueous solution enclosed in a selectively permeable membrane is immersed in a beaker containing a different solution, the environment as shown in the accompanying diagram. The membrane is permeable to water and the simple sugars glucose and fructose but impermeable to the disaccharide sucrose.

  1. Draw solid arrows to indicate the net movement of solutes.
  2. Is the solution outside the cell isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic?
  3. Draw a dashed arrow to show the net osmosis if any.
  4. Will the artificial cell become more flaccid, more turgid or stay the same?
  5. Eventually, will the two solutions have the same or different solute concentrations?

How would the membrane lipid composition of a native grass found in very warm soil around hot springs compare with that of a native grass found in cooler soil? Explain.

Question: An experiment is designed to study the mechanism of sucrose uptake by plant cells. Cells are immersed in a sucrose solution, and the pH of the solution is monitored. Samples of the cells are taken at intervals, and their sucrose concentration is measured. The pH is observed to decrease until it reaches a steady, slightly acidic level, and then sucrose uptake begins. (a) Evaluate these results and propose a hypothesis to explain them. (b) Predict what would happen if an inhibitor of ATPregeneration by the cell were added to the beaker once the pH was at a steady level. Explain.

Question: In the supermarket, lettuce and other products are often sprayed with water. Explain why this makes vegetables crisp.
