(a)

Summary Introduction

To evaluate:

An experiment was designed and conducted to analyze the uptake of sucrose in the plant cells. (a) The hypothesis for the decrease in pH, if plant cells are immersed in a sucrose solution. (b) The result obtained, if an inhibitor of the ATP regeneration was added in the beaker once the pH reached a steady level.

Introduction:

The plant cells were immersed in a sucrose solution in a beaker. The movement of the sucrose and water ions will take place by the process of diffusion and osmosis respectively in the beaker. The hypothesis given by the scientists proposes the movement of the hydrogen and sucrose ions inside the plant cells through the plasma membrane with the help of the co-transporter protein channels.

To evaluate: The hypothesis for the decrease in pH, if the plant cells are immersed in a sucrose solution.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The result that was obtained, if an inhibitor of ATP regeneration was added in the beaker once the pH reached a steady level.

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. (1)Rank the steps from first to last. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
The membrane in the diagram above is not permeable to the sugar in the solution, however it is permeable to water. Which of the following statements would best describe what will happen? Select ALL that apply. [mark all correct answers]a. Sugar molecules will move to side A until the concentrations on both sides are equal.b. There will be no change since the membrane is not permeable to the sugar molecules.c. Sugar molecules will move to side A at the same rate as the water molecules will move to side B.d. Water molecules will move to side B until the concentrations on both sides are equal.
Suppose you are examining osmosis by studying a carrot soaking in water. First, you conclude that the cell walls of the carrot are semipermeable, allowing water molecules but not solutes to passively move into and out of the cell. Next, you measure the solute concentrations of the carrot cells and the surrounding water. You determine the carrot cells contain a higher solute concentration than the water in which the carrot is soaking. Which statement accurately describes this scenario? Group of answer choices The cells of the carrot are hyperosmotic compared to the surrounding water, so water will be drawn out of the cells through osmosis The cells of the carrot are hypoosmotic compared to the surrounding water, so water will be drawn out of the cells through osmosis  The cells of the carrot are hypoosmotic compared to the surrounding water, so water will be drawn into the cells through osmosis The cells of the carrot are hyperosmotic compared to the surrounding water, so water…
