Substances like oxygen pass through the cell without the use of energy and move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. What do you call this process?A) osmosis.

B) filtration.

C) active transport.

D) passive transport

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

D) passive transport

Explanation:

Passive transport is the movements of molecules or ions from the region of its higher concentration to its lower concentration or along the concentration gradient. Since passive transport occurs along the concentration gradient, no energy input is required in the process. An example of passive transport is simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion.

Answer 2
Answer:

Substances like oxygen pass through the cell without the use of energy and move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration that occurs during passive transport.

Further Explanation:

Every molecules that passes across the cell has to cross the cell membrane barrier. The cell membrane is mainly made up of lipid bilayer which allows the hydrophobic molecules to pass throughit and restricts the entrance of hydrophilic molecules. It also allows the uncharged molecules to pass through the cell by simple diffusionand restricts the passage of charged molecules.

There occurs two basic type of transport-

  1. Passive transport
  2. Active transport

Passive transport is the type of transport wherein energy is not required for movement of molecules across the cell. During this type of transport the molecules moves from high concentration gradient to low concentration gradient.

The oxygen is an uncharged molecule that can easily pass through the cell from high concentration to low concentration without the expenditure of energy. In the active transport the molecules moves from low concentration gradient to high concentration gradient which requires energy in the form of ATP.

Osmosis is specifically used for the transport of water molecule from high concentration to low concentration gradient.

Explanation:

How could you determine the best concentration of solutes to give to a patient in need of IV fluids before you introduce the fluids into the patient's body?

Answers

You would consider the route of administration, for sure. Is the fluid going to be introduced orally? Through an IV line? Knowing the patient's current fluid and electrolyte levels in their blood would be highly helpful. If you put hypertonic solutions in the the body orally, water will be shifted from the circulatory system into the bowel. This may help someone with fluid overload in their blood to remove some of the water from their blood. It would also help to add water to the stool in the digestive system and act as a laxative. (Osmotic saline laxatives work in this manner. If you put hypertonic solutions in an IV you will pull fluids from the interstitial space between cells as well as from the bowels to the circulatory system. This would help reduce edema. If you put hypotonic solutions in the body orally, water will shift from the digestive system to the circulatory system (and will also dilute electrolytes in the circulatory system). This method may be used to reduce electrolyte concentrations in the blood, and to hydrate the circulatory system in general. If you put hypotonic solutions in an IV you would dilute electrolytes in the circulatory system and would shift fluid to the interstitial space between cells. Isotonic is probably the best way to go if you don't want to shift fluids or change electrolyte concentrations in the circulatory / digestive system. 0.9% saline would be an example of this, and is generally the most widely-used solution for basic rehydrating someone through an IV.

Plant-like protists are considered to bea. chemotrophs
b. heterotrophs
c. autotrophs
d. none of these

Answers

The correct answer is C. Autotrophs

Explanation:

In biology, a protist is a type of organism that cannot be classified as a plant, fungus or animal but whose cells contain a nucleus and therefore are classified as eukaryotic. Additionally, protist organism can be plant-like organisms, fungus-like organisms or animal-like organisms depending on whether they share certain features with animals, plants or fungus. In the case of plant-like protists, these are usually unicellular organisms that obtain energy from photosynthesis as plants and therefore they are mostly autotrophs as they do not feed on other organisms to obtain energy but produce it.

c. autotrophs.
The food chain goes like this: sun ---> autotrophs ---> heterotrophs ---> decomposers
