Explanation / Answer

please find below answer of first 4 question-

Q1.) What is the function of the nuclear pore complex found in eukaryotes?

Answer-A) It regulates the movement of proteins and RNAs into and out of the nucleus.

Description-The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the DNA, the genetic material of the cell.The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus with a double membrane with multiple pores. The pores regulate the passage of macromolecules like proteins and RNA, but permit free passage of water, ions, ATP and other small molecules.

Q2.) Suppose a cell has the following molecules and structures: enzymes, DNA, ribosomes,plasma membrane, and mitochondria. It could be a cell from _____.

Answer-A) a bacterium

Description-Enzymes associated with respiration of the prokaryotic cell-In bacterium located on the infoldings.Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure ofprokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal .

Q3.) Which of the following is true of osmosis?

Answer-

C) In osmosis, water moves across a membrane from areas of lower solute concentration to areas of higher solute concentration

Description-Osmosis. In osmosis, water always moves from an area of higher water concentration to one of lower concentration. In the diagram shown, the solutecannot pass through the selectively permeable membrane, but the water can

Q4.) What will happen to a red blood cell (RBC), which has an internal ion concentration of about 0.9 percent, if it is placed into a beaker of pure water?

Answer-

C) The cell would swell because the water in the beaker is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the RBC.

Description-If red blood cells are placed in pure water, water enters them by osmosis and thered blood cells swell up and burst. If cells are placed in a concentrated solution,water leaves them by osmosis and they are unable to function
