4 The cell membrane controls the rate at which molecules, such as water and oxygen,
enter the cell to maintain homeostasis. This rate is determined by the -
F permeability of the cell membrane
G mass of the nucleus
H stage of the cell cycle
J primary function of the cell

Some solutes move freely across cell membranes, while other solutes require
assistance from special gates. Passive transport and active transport are methods of
moving solutes across cell membranes.
Which of the following accurately describes the difference between passive transport
and active transport?
A Passive transport can move molecules both in and out of a cell, but active transport
cannot.
B Passive transport works against a concentration gradient, but active transport does
not.
C Passive transport does not require energy, but active transport does.
D Passive transport requires carrier proteins, but active transport does not.

Melissa lives in a town called greendale. she discovers that when she lights a match and holds it near her kitchen faucet, the little flame grows into a larger fire. melissa is surprised because she thought the water would extinguish the flame rather than ignite it further. her mother tells her that the water might be contaminated with dissolved methane, a primary component in natural gas. melissa investigates the matter and finds that cases of methane contamination started shortly after a company began fracking for natural gas in the area. based on this information, which three statements are plausible consequences of fracking in greendale?

You have been asked to lead a demonstration for the undergraduate microbiology lab course about the uses of negative staining when studying bacteria. a "negative" stain does not stain the bacterial cell itself but stains the space between cells. under magnification, the acidic (negativelycharged) nature of the stain will be repelled by the negatively charged bacterial cell wall and willleave the cell colorless in a stained background. negative stains are used primarily to reveal the presence of negatively charged bacterial capsules; therefore, they are also called capsule stains. encapsulated cells appear to have a halo surrounding them. the negative stain procedure does not require heat fixation, which limits any chances of alteration in bacterial cell shape and size. the bacterial suspension is added to a drop of stain, such as nigrosin or eosin, and drawn across the glass slide using a coverslip. nigrosin staining-not safranin staining-of klebsiella pneumoniae will allow for the visualization of the cell shape and the determination of the presence of a capsule. true/false

Plz ! ive been stuck on this forever
