Summary Introduction

To describe: The observations about particular cell types in the human body that were the basis of experimental strategy.

Introduction: The passive transports involve downhill movement of molecules without the expenditure of energy. The downhill transport means the movement of the molecules from the region of the high concentration to the region of their low concentration. It has a slower rate of diffusion because of its dependency to the difference between the concentrations of the solute.

In the diffusion and osmosis online experiment, which molecules would squeeze between the agar molecules and diffuse faster?   A. larger methylene blue molecules   B. neither molecules would be able to diffuse   C. smaller purple potassium permanganate molecules   D. both molecules would diffuse at the same rate
In this experiment 4 dialysis tubes filled with unknown starch concentrations were placed into beakers with 10% starch solutions. The bags were weighed every 10 minutes for an hour to measure osmosis. Use the figure to answer the following questions. Which bag(s) was(were) in a hypertonic environment? Select any that apply.  Question options:   Bag 1   Bag 2   Bag 3   Bag 4
Efflux pumps seem very energy inefficient. Why don’t bacteria simply fail to take up antibiotics into the cytoplasm?
