HELP PLEASE
sulfhydryl is an inhibitor of aquaporins. Which of the following isthe most likely effect of adding mercurial sulfhydryl to the distilled water

solution?

A).The grape cells will burst because of excess water entering by activetransport.

B).The grape cells will gain more water because of the activation of thetransport protein

.C).The grape cells will shrink because active transport has been inhibited.

D).The grape cells will gain water more slowly because of a lack of facilitateddiffusion

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Water transport via aquaporins is characteristically inhibited by mercurial reagents, which react with sulfhydryl groups in the channel proteins and result in closure of the channels.

Answer 2

The grape cells will gain water more slowly because of a lack of facilitated diffusion. Option D is the correct option

Inhibitors- An agent that slows or interferes with a chemical action.

Aquaporins- They are channel proteins mainly facilitating transport of water between cells and also called water channels.

As mercurial sulfhydryl will act as an inhibitor while adding  to the distilled water solution .

The grape cells which are present in the solution will gain water more slowly because of a lack of facilitated diffusion that is passive movement of molecules across the cell membrane will slow down  and inhibition will caused by the inhibitor sulfhydryl.

Therefore, The grape cells will gain water more slowly because of a lack of facilitated diffusion
