Question

Cells A and B are the same size, shape, and temperature, but cell A is metabolically less active than cell B; cell B is actively converting oxygen to water in cellular respiration. Oxygen will diffuse more rapidly into cell __________ because __________.

Answer 1

B;diffusion gradient in Cell B is greater than in cell A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Cell B is actively converting oxygen into water in cellular respiration. The oxygen will diffuse more rapidly in Cell B than cell A because the diffusion gradient in Cell B is greater than in cell A.

Diffusion gradient is the difference in the concentration of substance between two areas is concentration gradient.
