Want to know:
In a hypothetical situation, the genes for sex pilus construction and for tetracycline resistance are located together on the same plasmid within a particular bacterium. If this bacterium readily performs conjugation involving a copy of this plasmid, then the result should be *a. no transformed bacterium.b. the rapid spread of tetracycline resistance to other bacteria in that habitat.c. the subsequent loss of tetracycline resistance from this bacterium.d. the production of endospores among the bacteriumʹs progeny.e. the temporary possession by this bacterium of a completely diploid genome.

- The majority of solutes that diffuse across the plasma membrane cannot move directly through the lipid bilayer. The passive movement of such solutes (down their concentration gradients without the input of cellular energy) requires the presence of specific transport proteins, either channels or carrier proteins. Diffusion through a transport protein in the plasma membrane is called facilitated diffusion.Sort the phrases into the appropriate bins depending on whether they are true only for channels, true only for carrier proteins, or true for both channels and carriers.
