During an investigation on membrane transport, a researcher exposed bacterial cells to different concentrations of two different solutes: A and B. The rate of transport of each solute into cells isrepresented in the graphSolute ASolute BSolute ConcentrationWhich of the following best explains the greater rate of transport for solute A than for solute B at higher solute concentrations?A Solute A is being transported by simple diffusion, which does not rely on membrane proteins to control the rate of transportSolute A is being transported by active transport, which uses ATP and has higher rates of transport than passive transportSolute A is being transported by facilitated diffusion, which uses membrane proteins to increase the rate of transportRate of Transport

Information: Osmotic pressure is the pressure that a solvent exerts against a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. The higher the solute concentration, the lower the osmotic pressure. Red blood cells have an osmotic pressure equal to that of a 0.90% (m/v) solution of sodium chloride and 5.0% (m/v) solution of dextrose. A solution that has a higher concentration that this is called hypertonic; one with a lower concentration is called hypotonic. Osmotic pressure is an important factor affecting cells. Osmoregulation is the homeostasis mechanism of an organism to reach balance in osmotic pressure.Hypertonicity is the presence of a solution that causes cells to shrink.Hypotonicity is the presence of a solution that causes cells to swell.Isotonicity is the presence of a solution that produces no change in cell volume.When a biological cell is in a hypotonic environment, the cell interior accumulates water, water flows across the cell membrane into the cell, causing it to…

Osmosis is often defined as the flow of water through a semipermeable membrane, from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution. Video experiment #1 – saturated sucrose/dialysis tubing/water osmosis from U Mich. https://youtu.be/pCupvFGN4bw A saturated solution of sucrose-containing a red dye is separated from water by dialysis material. What happens to the volume of sucrose solution during the experiment? How do you know that the sucrose solution did not flow into the beaker of water? (Give evidence from your observation of the experiment.) Diffusion, Osmosis, Dialysis video: https://youtu.be/tHzkRtzVmUMDialysis, the flow of both solvent and small molecules or ions through a dialyzing membrane, is important clinically in the operation of the artificial kidney machine.
