Answer:

  • does not require atp
  • moves materials from a higher to a lower concentration.  
  • requires transporter proteins.

Explanation:

As we know, the plamatic membrane has a selective permeability, which allows substances to enter and exit the cell to maintain the balance of the concentrations of these substances in the intra and extra cellular environment, allowing the maintenance of the cell homeostasis. This is allowed through transport mechanisms, among which, facilitated diffusion is part.

The facilitated diffusion is a passive transport, carried out by the cell without the use of energy, therefore, it does not require ATP. This transport is carried out through transport proteins present in the membrane that allows the substances to leave the place with the highest concentration to the place with the lowest concentration.

<span>- they both deal with molecules that travel down/with a concentration gradient without using energy
- facilitated diffusion uses protein transporters to move substances across a membrane 
- the process of simple diffusion occurs only in prokaryotes while facilitated diffusion is seen only in eukaryotes
- simple diffusion doesn't require energy, but facilitated diffusion requires a source of ATP
- simple diffusion can only move material in the direction of a concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion moves materials with and against a concentration gradient</span>

Greater portions of the beach begin to reappear during _____.
masya89 [10]
Greater portions of the beach begin to appear during ebbing tides, until the maximum amount of beach is visible at low tide. They usually happens twice in a day. Beaches results from wave action by which waves or currents move sand or other loose sediments of which the beach is made as these particles are held in suspension.

<h2>Transportation across the membrane</h2>

Explanation:

(a) Simple diffusion; Faciliated diffusion-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compounds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein whereas in case of facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement pf molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient
  • Both the diffusions does not require energy

(b) Facilitated diffusion; active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement of molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient without the expenditure of energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane

(c) Simple diffusion; Active transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move and Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compouds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein and energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane;secondary active transporters coupled with transportation of two solute molecules

(d) Direct active transport; Indirect active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient or its electrochemical potential

  • Direct active transport use direct energy such as ATP hydrolysis,oxidation and sunlight energy
  • Indirect active transport use indirect energy such as chemical gradient,electrochemical gradient established by direct active transporters;one solute moves along the concentration gradient while other moves against the concentration gradient

(e) Symport; Antiport-Direction in which two transported solutes move

  • In symport both the solute molecules move in same direction;coupled with primary active transport(direct transport)
  • In antiport both the solutes moves in opposite direction;coupled with secondary active transport(indirect transport)

(f) Uniport; coupled transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • Uniport is the transport of single solute across the membrane
  • Coupled transport is the transport of two solute molecules across the membrane;it may be symport or antiport

(g) P-type ATPase; V-type ATPase-Kinetics of solute transport

  • P-type ATPase always transport cations and undergoes phosphorylation
  • V-type ATPase(here V stands for vacuole) transport protons and no phosphorylation occurs;catalytic activity is not reversible
  • Both are types of primary active transporters

What is the biological advantage of operons to bacteria?
TEA [102]

The correct answer is option C, that is, the Operons afford the organism the opportunity to simultaneously monitor the transcription of multiple genes, whose products are active in the same process.  

The genes, which correspond to a particular metabolic procedure are usually under the control of a single promoter in a bacteria. This is known as Operon that assists in monitoring the expression of genes taking part in the similar metabolic procedure.

Look at the molecule of ATP below. What would need to change about it for the cell to use the energy stored within the molecule?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The only way for a cell to use energy stored within a molecule is in this example would be to break the bond between 1 and two because it would be impossible for energy to get to 3, 4, 5.

Which abiotic factors play important roles in tropical forests?
Snowcat [4.5K]

The abiotic factors that play an important role in the tropical forests are the rain, to give the animals and plants the water they need to grow, the sunlight, it gives the plants and trees the energy they need to perform certain tasks like photosynthesis, which gives animals air to breathe.
