Is the movement of water along the concentration gradient
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

<em>- Is the movement of water along the concentration gradient: </em><em>Osmosis</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the use of energy to move the particles against the concentration gradient: </em><em>Active transport</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the movement of particles by diffusion without energy: </em><em>Simple diffusion</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the movement of particles along the concentration gradient: </em><em>Passive transport</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

The mechanisms of cellular transport involve all the processes that the cell carries out to incorporate substances into its interior or send them to the extracellular space, through its semipermeable cell membrane.

<h3>- Osmosis</h3>

Is a type of transport that consists of the passage of water from a space with a lower concentration of solutes to one with a higher concentration, in order to reach equilibrium, following a concentration gradient.

The concentration gradient is given by the difference in concentration between two substances, which indicates the direction in which molecules, such as water, should move from one place to another.

<h3>- Active transport</h3>

Unlike passive transport mechanisms, which depend on a concentration gradient that determines the movement of particles, in active transport there are two characteristics that define it:

The passage of substances into the cell against a concentration gradient.

The use of energy to carry out this process.

In this case, the passage of substances through the cell membrane will be according to the requirements of the cell, or when they cannot pass through the membrane.

<h3>- Simple diffusion</h3>

According to the characteristics of the cell membrane, some substances can pass freely through it while others require special mechanisms. When a molecule is able to pass through the membrane without the use of special mechanisms or energy we speak of simple diffusion.

In a cell membrane, whose composition is by hydrophobic or non-polar lipid molecules, simple diffusion allows the passage of non-polar molecules, gases and alcohol.

<h3>- Passive transport</h3>

Refers to the mechanism of entry and exit of substances from the cell that does not require the use of energy.

The mechanisms involved in the passive transport of the cell are simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion - which requires special conveyors or channels - and ultrafiltration, which depends on hydrostatic pressure. Examples of substances using this mechanism are lipid molecules, water and electrolytes.

Diana jones is 5'4" and weighs 145 pounds. would the anesthetic choices be the same for diana as they would be for a 6'3" 210 lb
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Propofol (another name Diprivan) can be used for Diana's surgery. It is a sedative or anesthesia commonly used for children and adults. Studies show that there were no significant differences in dose requirements based on sex or age, except for the too elderly.  The difference in dosing considering different body weights were not statistically significant also.  The same dose is safe

( 0.1-0.15 mg/kg/min IV for 3-5 min) for Diana, the 210 lb man or a 10-year-old girl. However, the dose was higher in patients with bradycardia and hypotension.

1. Natural selection is the best of the organisms to live past hardships and survive, leaving the weakest to die. Survival of the fittest.

2. Adaptation is an organism changing to better themselves in a certain environment.

3. These moths were adapted to blend into their surroundings, so as to not be seen by predators.

4. Because of the pollution from the city, the tree’s bark turned from a lighter shade brown to a darker shade brown.

5. A majority of the moths were a lighter gray. With the changing color bark they were seen more by predators.

6. Adaption caused the first darker moths to appear because they learned they needed to blend into the new tree bark color.

7. The change from light to dark gray was very needed for moths. It explains natural selection for those moths who did not adapt to different color gray. Adapting the new tree bark color helped moths been less seen by predators therefor keeping their species more alive.
