Which of the following describes the properties that allow capillaries to exchange gas between blood cells and surrounding tissue?

a. capillaries are short vessels with thin walls that create strong pressures forcing gas-infused blood to diffuse to the surrounding tissue.
b. capillaries have thin walls and narrow diameters so that blood cells come close to the thin walls, across which gases can diffuse to surrounding tissue.
c. capillaries have valves along their walls that allow blood cells to move through them to surrounding tissue, where gas exchange can occur.
d. capillaries regulate the pressure of blood within them so that a steady stream of gas-infused blood cells passes into the surrounding tissue.

Salmonella typhimurium is a food-borne bacterial pathogen that can cause severe gastrointestinal disease. salmonella is often phagocytosed by macrophages that normally destroy bacterial pathogens, but this bacterium is somehow able to prevent the complete maturation of phagolysosomes. salmonella is able to tolerate the low ph of phagolysosomes, and in fact responds to the drop in ph by secreting toxins that interfere with other cellular responses. which of the following differences would you expect to contribute to the survival of a bacterium within an salmonella-containing phagosome, compared to a healthy phagolysosome? decreased activity of acid hydrolases increased activity of acid hydrolases decreased import of h+ ions increased import of h+ ions my guess is decreased activity of acid hydrolases but i'm not sure.

Membrane vesicles containing an internal sodium chloride (nacl) concentration of 0.14 m are placed into separate beakers each containing a different solution. the first beaker contains 0.14 m sucrose, while the second beaker contains 0.14 m calcium chloride (cacl2). the temperature is 25°c. what is the solute potential inside the vesicles, expressed in units of mpa?
