Kinase

Membrane concentration

Membrane carbohydrates function primarily in cell- cell recognition.

Cells A and B are the same size and shape, but cell A is metabolically quiet and cell B is actively consuming oxygen. Oxygen will diffuse more quickly into __ cell because ______.

B..... the diffusion gradient there is steeper

Green olives may be preserved in brine, which is 20-30% salt solution. How does this method prevent contamination by microorganisms?

Bacteria can't survive in a hypertonic solution because they lose water

The concentration of calcium in a cell is 0.3%. The concentration of calcium in the surrounding fluid is 0.1%. How could the cell obtain more calcium?

active transport
