Description : There are two properties of the cell necessary to maintain nonequilibrium cellular composition; the first is selectivity and the second is energy conversion. Which of the following statement(s ... transported via secondary active transport include hydrogen ions, calcium, amino acids and glucose
Last Answer : Answer: c, d The selectivity of the plasma membrane, although impressive, cannot account for the nonequilibrium composition of living cells. A cell can be maintained in a nonequilibrium state only by ... to drive the transport of a second species such as protons, calcium, amino acids, or glucose
Description : Which among the following is false about acids? (1) They give H+ ions in aqueous solution (2) Most acids contain hydrogen (3) They turn blue litmus red (4) They are bad conductor of electricity in aqueous solution
Last Answer : (4) They are bad conductor of electricity in aqueous solution Explanation: Acids are good conductors of electric current in aqueous solution. When acids come in contact with water, they liberate OH ions, resulting in conduction of electricity.
Description : Acids generate: (1) Acids generate hydrogen ions. (2) Bases generate hydroxide ions. (3) Both are correct (4) Both are incorrect
Last Answer : (3) Both are correct Explanation: Acids, in presence of water, give hydrogen ions (H+). Similarly, bases generate hydroxide (OH-) ions in water.

Last Answer : (a) Fructose and amino acids are absorbed through intestinal mucosa with the help of carrier ions like Na
Description : Carrier ions like Na+ facilitate the absorption of substances like (a) amino acids and glucose (b) glucose and fatty acids (c) fatty acids and glycerol (d) fructose and some amino acids.
Last Answer : (a) amino acids and glucose
Description : Pick out the wrong statement. (A) Nitrogen is normally supplied in fertiliser either in Ammoniacal or the nitrate form, from which the soil takes it up in the form of ammonium ions ornitrate ... nitrate fertiliser is obtained as a by-product in an integrated steel plant having by-product coke ovens
Last Answer : (D) Ammonium nitrate fertiliser is obtained as a by-product in an integrated steel plant having by-product coke ovens
Description : Buffer solutions have constant acidity and alkalinity because: (1) they have fixed value of pH (2) these give unionised acid or base on reaction with added acid or alkali (3) acids and alkalies in these solutions are shielded from attack by other ions (4) they have large excess of H+ or OH– ions
Last Answer : these give unionised acid or base on reaction with added acid or alkali
Last Answer : (A) Dipolar ions
Description : Why do acids release in water?
Last Answer : Acids do not "release" in water, your question ismeaningless.
