The following diagram is a model of the cell membrane. though small, nonpolar molecules are usually able to pass freely across the cell membrane, larger molecules and ions can only enter and exit cells through carrier proteins or channel proteins.

using the model above for reference, what effect would the removal of carrier proteins likely have on cell transport?
a.
the movement of sodium ions out of the cell would increase.
b.
the movement of glucose molecules into the cell would decrease.
c.
the concentration of glucose molecules outside of the cell would decrease.
d.
the number of protein channels in the membrane would increase.
reset submit

a ) The movement of glucose molecules into the cell would decrease.

Explanation:

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
