Explanation / Answer

12. A

Explanation: A semi-permeable membrane contains transmembrane proteins named as channels and carriers. These proteins allow the transport of only certain molecules through the membrane.

13. A

Explanation: The carrier protein carries glucose along with sodium. Such a protein is called as symport; and the transport in which both molecules move together is called as cotransport.

14. B

Explanation: In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is less than the concentration of solvent. RBC membrane is semi-permeable. It will allow solvent molecules to move from a region of higher concentration (hypotonic solution) to a region of lower concentration (cell cytoplasm). So, the cell will swell.

15. C

Explanation:

Diaphragm is the prime mover of inhalation. It separates the thorax from the abdomen. When we breathe in air, then it contracts. This increases the thorax volume so that inhaled air can come inside.
