Fick's law states that:a

the amount of gas diffusing across a membrane depends on differences in partial pressure. b. the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures of the individual gases. c. the dissociation of oxygen from hemoglobin depends on the pH of the environment. d. as oxygen concentration increases, there is an increase in the amount of hemoglobin produced. e. the size of an animal varies inversely to the amount of diffusion across its respiratory membranes.

More than half a century ago, two cell biologists published details of their research involving isolated membrane vesicles from chloroplasts. Normally, the fluid inside these vesicles is near neutral

In an experiment, these membrane vesicles were soaked in an acidic solution (pH 4 ) until the inside of the vesicle also became pH 4. Based on the details provided in this scenario, by what mechanism could hydrogen ions have crossed the vesicle membrane, and what do you think happened at the molecular level? A) Active transport; hydrogen ions moved out of the vesicle with the help of ATP energy. B) Pinocytosis; water moved from outside the vesicle to inside. C) Facilitated diffusion; hydrogen ions moved into the vesicle through a channel protein. D) Simple diffusion; hydrogen ions moved into the vesicle through a channel protein. E) Osmosis; water moved from inside the vesicle to outside.
