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.

Why do ionic bonds form between metals and<br> nonmetals?
velikii [3]

Answer:

Ionic bonds form only between metals and nonmetals. That's because metals “want” to give up electrons, and nonmetals “want” to gain electrons. It takes energy to remove valence electrons from an atom and form a positive ion. Energy is released when an atom gains valence electrons and forms a negative ion.

If the apical meristem of a mature plant is removed, the plant will most likely
solmaris [256]
The answer is D. lose apical dominance and grow lateral branches

Apical meristem is a meristem tissue found at the branch tips. When it is active, tree grows in height and the lateral branches will not be as dominant. Imagine conifers and their branches. However, when apical meristem is removed, that apical dominance will be lost, and the lateral branches will become more dominant, so the tree will look more branchy.

How many sperm cells are created from the process of meiosis
Lorico [155]
While mitosis produces 2 daughter cells from each parent cell, meiosis results in 4 sex cells, or gametes in males and 1 in females. Unlike the cells created by mitosis, gametes are not identical to the parent cells. In males, meiosis is referred to as spermatogenesis because sperm cells are produced.
