"The idea has not yet achieved scientific consensus" is the one statement among the following choices given in the question that <span>best describes gene therapy. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope the answer has helped you.</span>
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration area to a low concentration area.
Things that can go through a membrane are ions (charged), small polar molecules. Big molecules can't go through the membrane due to its large size and disrupting the membrane.
Passive transport is the movement of substances acrpss the cell membrane w/o the use of energy. Active transport needs energy to move substances across a cell membrane.
<span>An event in which rain-cooled air hits the ground and spreads out in all directions is called a </span>downburst.
Note that Facilitated diffusion , Active transport and Osmosis are three different ways of transporting substances across the cell surface membrane.
Facilitated diffusion is the movement of a substance from high to low concentration , similar to simple diffusion , but due to the complexity of the cell surface membrane , polar molecules and ions cannot just pass like that , so they pass through specific carrier and channel proteins in the cell surface membrane and so we call it facilitated diffusion.
For Active transport , it's the movement from low to high concentraion using energy from ATP
For Osmosis , it's totally different . You only name osmosis when its all about water . Its the net movement of water from high water potential to low water potential through partially permeable membrane .
If you're doing AS , you'll be familiar with Endosmosis and Exosmosis.
