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.

All of the following are regulatory functions of the endocrine system except Select one: a. labor contractions. b. development o
aleksley [76]

Answer:

c. immune functions.

Explanation:

The endocrine system is involved in the regulation of metabolic rate, body temperature (thermoregulation), tissue development and labor contractions except immune functions.

Studies have shown that no hormone has been identified as being important in the regulation of the immune system. Therefore immune functions is not a regulatory function of the endocrine system.

Although, there have been articles on the endocrine and immune system crosstalk, only a hypothesis of various proteohormones not single hormones have been discovered to act on immunocompetent cells.
