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.

Cellulose-digesting microorganisms live in the guts of termites and ruminant mammals. The microorganisms have a home and food, a
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: mutualism

Explanation:

Mutualism refers to a relationship between two organisms, where both organisms benefit from the association. In this instance, the relationship between cellulose-digesting microorganisms and their hosts-  termites and ruminant mammals- is characterized by mutualism because both organism benefit from their association. The microorganisms benefit by getting their nutrition from the cellulose in guts of their hosts. Whereas, the hosts benefit from the cellulose-digesting microorganisms by getting help in digesting the cellulose they consume in their diet.

If a 2 kg ball is traveling at a speed of 4 m/s, what is its kinetic energy?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

  • Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that a 2 kg ball is traveling at a speed of 4 m/s, so we have to find its kinetic energy.

KE = 1/2 mv²

KE = 1/2 × 2×(4)²

KE = 1/2 × 2×16

KE = 16 J

<u>Some information about Kinetic Energy</u>.

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. It is directly proportional to the velocity of the particle and its mass. Kinetic energy is given by,

  • KE = ½mv²
  • It occurs due to the motion of the particle.
  • If a particle at rest position, then the kinetic energy will be zero because that particle won't be accelerating.
