Question

1. A cell was poisoned by a substance that destroyed all of its mitochondria. Circle all of the cell
transport processes listed that would still be able to continue.
a. Osmosis
d. Exocytosis
b. Diffusion
e. Pinocytosis
c. Facilitated diffusion
f. Phagocytosis

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Osmosis

b. Diffusion

c. Facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the power house of the cell which is responsible for the production of energy from glucose molecules. If they are destroyed, no energy is available for transport of material in or outside of the cell. Only osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion occurs because they are the types of passive transport in which molecules moves from a region of higher concentration to the region lower concentration without the use of energy.
