Question 26

### Understanding Osmosis and Cellular Transport Mechanisms

1. **Solutions and Osmosis:**
   - **Solution A** is corn syrup, and **Solution B** is tap water.
   - **Hypertonic Solution:** Solution A is hypertonic.
   - **Hypotonic Solution:** Solution B is hypotonic.
   - When a red blood cell is placed in salt water, it moves water out of the cell. Salt water is hypertonic compared to the cell, causing water to move from a hypotonic solution (inside the cell) to a hypertonic solution (outside).

2. **Key Concept:**
   - Water moves from a hypotonic to a hypertonic solution via osmosis. 

3. **Sodium-Potassium Pump:**
   - Moves 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions into the cell against the concentration gradient.
   - **Energy Use:** Yes, in the form of ATP.
   - **Transport Type:** Active transport using a membrane protein (Na⁺-K⁺ pump).
   - **Energy Molecule:** ATP is used in this kind of transport.

4. **Immune Cell Engulfment:**
   - Involves phagocytosis, a type of endocytosis where cells ingest molecules, requiring ATP to kill bacteria.

5. **Liver Cell Transport:**
   - When a liver cell makes enzymes and transports proteins out of the cell in a vesicle, ATP is used. This process is an example of active transport within the endomembrane system.

6. **Energy in Cellular Functions:**
   - Breaking the bond between phosphate groups in ATP releases energy used in various biological functions.

### Additional Notes:
- Active transport processes such as the sodium-potassium pump and phagocytosis require energy in the form of ATP.
- **pH Levels:** Slightly basic conditions can affect enzyme efficiency and transport mechanisms.
