Specific chemicals are bound by carrier proteins and transferred on one side of the membrane. The conformational changes they go through next enable the molecule to cross the membrane and exit on the other side.

How carrier protein facilitate the diffusion?

When a molecule diffuses, it usually moves from a high concentration location to a low concentration area until the concentration is the same everywhere in the space.

Contrary to channel proteins, another form of membrane transport protein that is less selective in the molecules it transports, carriers are proteins that move a particular material through intracellular compartments, into the extracellular fluid, or across cells. Carrier proteins are found in lipid bilayer cell structures such cell membranes, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, just like other membrane transport proteins.

Therefore, carrier proteins can facilitate the diffusion of glucose or other substances into the cell.

How can local environmental changes have global effects?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Water and air circulate around the world in water currents and wind systems (like prevailing winds) respectively, hence distribute energy and whatever else they are carrying across the globe. This is why polluting the oceans in the equatorial region will have indirect consequences for marine life in the poles.

Pollution of air through emission  of greenhouse gases in one part of the globe will contribute to global warming across the world because these emissions will be carried around by prevailing winds and diffuse across the atmosphere.

Global warming also causes climate change that subsequently causes the displacement or migration of organisms when this change in climate is unfavorable

Match each leukocyte to its normal percentage in a differential cell count. A. 50-70% B. 20-40% C. 2-8% D. 1-4% E. < 1% basop
Vsevolod [243]

Answers:

A. 50-70% - neutrophils

B. 20-40% - Lymphocytes

C. 2-8% - monocytes

D. 1-4% - eosinophils

E. < 1% -  basophils

Explanation:

The blood differential test is used to estimate the percentage of each class of white blood cell (WBC) present in the blood and to indicate the presence of abnormal or immature cells.

The Test is Performed by taking of blood sample which is smeared onto a glass slide, then it's stained with a unique dye to indicate the class of white blood cells.

The Five class of white blood cells are

Neutrophils

Lymphocytes (B cells and T cells)

Monocytes

Eosinophils

Basophils

The different class of white blood cells are given as a percentage:

Neutrophils: 40% to 60%

Lymphocytes: 20% to 40%

Monocytes: 2% to 8%

Eosinophils: 1% to 4%

Basophils: 0.5% to 1%

Band (young neutrophil): 0% to 3%
