Facilitated diffusion is the process by which molecules move across the plasma membrane with the aid of membrane proteins like channels and carriers. These molecules move down a concentration gradient, which gives them the potential to diffuse into (or out of) the cell.

Passive transport is a subset of facilitated diffusion. Because the solution is travelling down the concentration gradient, assisted diffusion is still passive transport even when it incorporates transport proteins. The cell membrane can easily be traversed by small, nonpolar substances.image outcome.A case of enhanced diffusion is glucose transfer. The lipid bilayer of the membrane prevents glucose from passing through since it is a big, polar molecule. In order to pass through, it requires carriers known as glucose transporters.

Describe the basic structure and functions of proteins.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Each protein is made up of a unique number and order of amino acids. The protein that is created has a specific job to do or a specific tissue such as muscle tissue to create. The structure of amino acids is fairly simple. Each amino acid has an amino group at its core with a carboxyl group and a side chain attached.

Which of the following is NOT evidence supporting the endosymbiotic theory?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) the vacuoles can "come and go" across the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory exposes that mitochondria and chloroplasts were "swallowed" several years ago by a prokaryotic cell, that then became eukaryotic. These two organelles were originally two living and independent organisms, that's why the have their own DNA and also divide splitting. Anyway, the endosymbiotic theory does not explain anything about vacuoles and also, the sentence is not true. No organelle can come and go across the membrane, it's impossible for an organelle to break such barrier.
