- When a bacterial cell is placed in a hypotonic, environment, the cell wall restrains the pressure resulting from the greater osmolarity of the cytoplasm. (Use one word in the blank space. Spelling must be correct to earn the point. The word "osmotic" is NOT an answer that that will earn credit for this question; there is another word that is required.)arrow_forwardWhat is the dependent variable of the experiment?arrow_forwardAn ion gradient is a source of potential energy that drives secondary transport processes in cells.

Exocytosis is: Group of answer choices transport of signal molecules out of an endocrine cell transport of a steroid hormone into a cell breaking of a covalent bond to create new molecules making a new covalent bond transport of glucose into a cell, against its concentration gradient transport of glucose out of cell, with its concentration gradient import of an entire bacterium into a white blood cell transport of sodium out of a neuron transport of large macromolecules into a cellarrow_forward
