(a)

Summary Introduction

To evaluate:

An experiment was designed and conducted to analyze the uptake of sucrose in the plant cells. (a) The hypothesis for the decrease in pH, if plant cells are immersed in a sucrose solution. (b) The result obtained, if an inhibitor of the ATP regeneration was added in the beaker once the pH reached a steady level.

Introduction:

The plant cells were immersed in a sucrose solution in a beaker. The movement of the sucrose and water ions will take place by the process of diffusion and osmosis respectively in the beaker. The hypothesis given by the scientists proposes the movement of the hydrogen and sucrose ions inside the plant cells through the plasma membrane with the help of the co-transporter protein channels.

To evaluate: The hypothesis for the decrease in pH, if the plant cells are immersed in a sucrose solution.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The result that was obtained, if an inhibitor of ATP regeneration was added in the beaker once the pH reached a steady level.

An  experiment is designed to study the mechanism of sucrose uptake by plant cells. Cells are immersed in a sucrose solution, and the pH of the solution is monitored. Samples of the cells are taken at intervals, and their sucrose concentration is measured. The pH is observed to decrease until it reaches a steady, slightly acidic level, and then sucrose uptake begins. (1)Rank the steps from first to last. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
(a)Aquaporins and membrane channel protein in plant and animal,they permit the movement of water across the membrane.Explain why this is necessary.(b) Explain the importance of cell surface membrane to cell
Suppose you are given a container that has a membrane permeable only to metabolic wastes. The container is filled with 5 M metabolic waste in an aqueous solution. You wish to reduce the amount of waste dissolved in the container. You see a 5 L beaker of pure water sitting across the room on a shelf. What is your plan?
