Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.
The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:
They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).
They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.
A) Earth moon sun
the moon blocks the sunlight from the ground creating a solar eclipse.
B. New compounds with lower-energy bonds must be formed when the high-energy bonds in food molecules are broken.
Explanation:
The correct statement from the given choices is that new compounds with lower-energy bonds must be formed when the high- energy bonds in the food molecules are broken down.
Cellular respiration is classified as an catabolic process in which an energy rich substance is broken down into a lesser one.
- Metabolic processes are usually divided into catabolic and anabolic processes.
- In catabolic step, energy is broken down.
- Cellular respiration is catabolic whereas photosynthesis is anabolic.
- The new compounds formed have lower energy bonds after respiration.
