Rough ER indirectly helps with the production of energy (ATP) for the cell because it is covered with ribosomes.
d)
Rough ER indirectly helps with the production of protein because it is covered with ribosomes.

Placing salt water on an injury or cut has proven very effective in killing bacteria and limiting infections for hundreds of years.  Which of the following best explains why?
a)
The salt will rush into the bacterial cells passively causing them to undergo cytolysis.
b)
Water will rush out of the bacterial cells passively causing them to undergo plasmolysis.
c)
Water will rush into the bacterial cells passively causing them to undergo cytolysis.
d)
Water will be forced out of the cell actively through the process of exocytosis.
