Answer:
<em>B: The drug is a small charged molecule</em>
Explanation:
Substances can passively diffuse in and out of the cell via the cell membrane in two ways;
- Simple diffusion
- Facilitated diffusion
The cell membrane allows small molecules or ions to freely diffuse across it in response to concentration difference between the inner and outer parts of the cell membrane. This is known as simple diffusion.
In facilitated diffusion, special proteins in the cell membrane, known as channel/carrier proteins binds with molecules and facilitates their diffusion across the cell membrane by carrying them through special channels in the membrane.
Hence, to support the alternative hypothesis that the new drug will exhibit simple diffusion across the plasma membrane, the drug should be a small charged molecule.
<em>Correct option: B</em>
Answer:
Mitochondria and the chloroplast
Explanation:
Electron transport refers to the transfer of of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via a reduction-oxidation reaction.
In the mitochondria the process is called Oxidative phosphorylation whereas in the Chloroplast it is called Photo-phosphorylation since it utilizes light.
Chemiosmotic mechanisms allow the movement of ions across a semi-permeable membrane down their electrochemical gradient.
In both mitochondria and chloroplast,have these mechanisms for the production of ATP .
Answer:
The correct order would be:
A vaccine introduces a weakened flu virus into the body.
↓
The immune system identifies antigens on the weakened flu virus.
↓
Antibodies are produced, which bind to the weakened flu virus and signal immune cells to destroy it.
↓
The actual flu virus enters the body, and lymphocytes recognize the antigens.
↓
Antibodies are quickly produced and allow the body to fight off the infection.
Vaccination or immunization is the process which helps in developing the immunity (adaptive) against a particular pathogen or microorganism.
It includes the administration of antigen, weakened or heat-killed microorganism (such as flu virus) into the patients body. Body's immune system produces naive B and T cells to eliminate the antigen.
This encounter enables the immune system to produce memory B and T cells against that particular pathogen.
In future, whenever the same antigen enters the body, the immune system gets activated quickly due to the presence of memory cells. It enables the body to produce more effective secondary response against the pathogen.
Answer:
Frequency of the B3 allele 
Explanation:
The allele frequencies in a given population remain constant which means that every generation will have the same gene pool across the generations. As per Hardy Weinberg’s first equilibrium equation, the sum of frequency of all the alleles at a given locus is equal to one
Thus, if "p" represents the frequency of B1 allele and "q" represents the frequency of B2 allele and "r" represents the allele for B3 allele. Then, sum or "p", "q" and "r" is equal to one.
Substituting the given values, we get -
