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.

There are choices for this question namely:

a. What is your name and where do you live?
b. How much poison did you swallow?
c. How long have you been feeling this way?
<span>d. What have you recently had to eat or drink?
</span>
The correct answer is "what have you recently had to eat or drink". This will confirm the suspicion by first ruling out potential reactive foods or drinks that may have caused a similar reaction (i.e. allergic reactions). If that is ruled out, then the probing about the history of intake of poison will come next in the interview.

The thickest part of the crust occurs in _____.
lana [24]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

The continental crust is usually thick because it has an average thickness of about 35-40 km. In the high mountain ranges, it is the thickest, forming about 80 km on an average. These are formed when two continental plates form a sandwich pattern by sharing a convergent type of plate boundary.

For example, the thickest part of the crust is the Mt. Everest which lies in the great Himalayan range, which has started to form about 50 million years back. It is geologically the most recent mountain range.

The older mountains are continuously eroded in the geological past, as a result of which the height of the mountains is affected.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
