Environmental scientists calculating pollutant half-lives often define a transport rate constant that is analogous to a reaction rate constant and describes how a pollutant moves out of an ecosystem. In a study of the gasoline additive MTBE in Donner Lake, California, scientists from the University of California, Davis, found that in the summer the half-life of MTBE in the lake was 26.01 days. Assume that the transport process is first order. What was the transport rate constant of MTBE out of Donner Lake during the study

When in solution, a molecule that moves slowly across an artificial membrane moves rapidly across a plasma membrane. this molecule rapidly enters the cell regardless of whether its concentration is higher inside or outside the cell. using this information, which transport mechanism is most likely to be responsible for the movement of the molecule across a plasma membrane? view available hint(s)when in solution, a molecule that moves slowly across an artificial membrane moves rapidly across a plasma membrane. this molecule rapidly enters the cell regardless of whether its concentration is higher inside or outside the cell. using this information, which transport mechanism is most likely to be responsible for the movement of the molecule across a plasma membrane? active transportexocytosis

How does the nervous system affect the excretory system?

Modern sea star larvae resemble some primitive vertebrate larvae. this similarity may suggest that primitive vertebrates
