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.

Are humans affected by natural selection?
Scorpion4ik [409]
Yes! A recent example could be babies that do not survive child birth for a certain reason, are obviously unable to pass on whatever caused them to die in the first place.
Also, once humans started to domesticate cows and drink their milk (I'm not sure why humans drink a cow's milk) their bodies evolved to continue making the enzyme to digest milk even after they were weaned off their mothers milk. Many people of Asian descend do not have this enzyme, since their culture did/does not raise as much dairy product.

Looking at the image of the freshwater lake ecosystem in the reading, can you name biotic and abiotic factors in this specific e
atroni [7]

Answer:

Biotic factors include: Fish (phytoplankton-eater, zooplankton-eater, predator)

, Crayfish

, Zooplankton

, Grasses, phytoplankton, herbivorous insect, worms, etc.

Abiotic factors include: Sunlight, Rainfall, Sedimentation, Weather, Minerals, Temperature.

Changes that would impact the biotic factors include:

Water, air pollution

Human activities: such as overfishing, rechanneling of the water for purposes such as irrigation, domestic or industrial use, or dredging of the bottom of the lake.

Explanation:

An ecosystem is composed of biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-living environmental factors such as water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals. In aquatic ecosystems, abiotic factors include substrate type, water depth, nutrient levels, temperature, salinity, and waterflow. Biotic factors are the living organisms in the ecosystem and they include animals, birds, plants, fungi, etc.

In the image of the freshwater lake ecosystem given,

Biotic factors include: Fish (phytoplankton-eater, zooplankton-eater, predator)

, Crayfish

, Zooplankton

, Grasses, phytoplankton, herbivorous insect, worms.

Abiotic factors include: Sunlight, Rainfall, Sedimentation, Weather, Minerals, Temperature.

Changes that would impact the biotic factors include:

Pollution: pollution such as water pollution and air pollution will adversely impact the biotic factors.

Human activities: such as overfishing, rechanneling of the water for purposes such as irrigation, domestic or industrial use, or dredging of the bottom of the lake.

How are the fluke larvae transferred from the snail (invertebrate host) to the vertebrate host?
Vesna [10]
The eggs of the fluke are passed into water supplies from feces and urine of infected people. After hatching the parasite actively swims and invades the body of a snail, usually by penetrating through the snail's foot. The parasite requires the presence of certain species of snails (e.g., Oncomelania, Biomphalaria, Bulinus) to transform (and multiply) itself into an infective stage, called cercaria.
