What does it mean that carrier proteins of active transport are selectively permeable and active and possibly saturated?
BJHunt1702
It means that carrier proteins allow some, select glucose molecules into the cell, but not other molecules. The reason they are called active is because they there is a higher concentration of that molecule in the cell than there is in the surrounding area, so the cell must use energy to bring that molecule in. Unless energy is used substances will only diffuse down a concentration gradient, never against one. I do not know what possibly saturated means

What does saturated mean with regard to the weather?
the word saturated means the air is holding all of the water it possibly could.
A solution that contains as much dissolved solid as it possibly can?
It is called a saturated solution. The actual amount of solid dissolved depends on the solid, the solvent (liquid) and the temperature.
Why does the red blood cell lyse in an isosmotic solution of urea?
Urea is isosmotic to the intracellular fluid of red blood cells, but because the membranes of the blood cells are permeable to urea. Urea enters the cell at a much more rapid rate than other permeable solutes (because of the steep concentration gradient) and the cell fills to it bursts.
What units do you use to measure the mass of bread?
Newton, or possibly a millinewton. Newton, or possibly a millinewton. Newton, or possibly a millinewton. Newton, or possibly a millinewton.
What water regulation adaptations might have evolved in protists hypertonic habitats such as great salt lake. In habitats with changing salt concentration?
The protists would have more permeable membranes than those in hypotonic or isotonic environments, allowing more water to enter the cell. and possibly develop a higher salt concentration within the cell, to retain the water within it and not diffuse quickly. Without these adaptations, the cell will become plasmolyzed. Protists in a changing salt concentration will have a semi-permeable membrane in order to keep up with fluctuations in concentration and take in water as it needs, along with a contractile vacuole in order to pump out any unnecessary water it takes in.
What does saturated mean with regard to the weather?
the word saturated means the air is holding all of the water it possibly could.
When air holds the water vapor it possibly can we say its?
SATURATED
A solution that contains all the solute it can hold at a given temperature?
It is called a saturated solution. This is created by adding in solute until no more solute dissolves. Then the excess solute is filtered. This works much better for a saturated solution at room temperature, as when the solution hits the filter paper, some will come out because it is colder.
Do you use active transport with an egg and corn syrup?

What is the definition for saturated?
Saturation refers to a state where a substance is holding the maximum amount of another substance that it can possibly hold. In chemistry, a solution is considered saturated when it cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature and pressure.
Describes a solution with a large amount of solute compared to the amount of solvent?
"Concentrated" if you could still dissolve more solute in the solvent, or "saturated" if this is not possible (because there is so much dissolved already).
What delta winged supersonic transport is the fastest passenger plane?
You are possibly thinking of the Concorde, but it is no longer in service.
A solution that contains as much dissolved solid as it possibly can?
It is called a saturated solution. The actual amount of solid dissolved depends on the solid, the solvent (liquid) and the temperature.
What does it cost to transport a body by air?
It will cost depending where you are flying from and where you are going to. You will have to buy a ticket that will cost two hundred dollars or more possibly.
Why does descending air warm at dry adiabatic lapse rate?
It can't possibly be saturated, because by warming it is increasing its ability to hold moisture while maintaining the same amount of moisture.
Why does my Pontiac transport shut off when accelerated?
If it's hesitant/stalling on acceleration and stalling on slow down or stops, then could possibly be the fuel filter.
How does red meat cause heart disease?
Red meat is high in cholesterol, an animal fat that contributes to heart disease.
