Explain two ways materials can enter the cell through passive transport. Include in your answer: the types of substance that is
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

<em><u>Osmosis and facilitated diffusion</u></em> are two forms of passive transport that are integral to cellular transport mechanisms.

Explanation:

Cells surrounded by a bilipid layer or plasma membrane are amphiphilic, with their polar, hydrophilic lipid heads facing outward, while their hydrophobic non-polar lipid tails facing each other inward.

Although lipid-soluble molecules travel quickly through the bilayer, traveling across its surface into the cell is often difficult for charged and large molecules. Thus, transport proteins, pores and gated channels, transmembrane channels, embedded within the membrane, help to preserve selective permeability.

Across plasma membranes as a form of passive transport in cells, substances move via:

  1. osmosis - water molecules readily pass through the membrane;  the molecules move from high concentration regions to low concentration regions at will through the membrane- they move down their concentration gradient
  2. facilitated diffusion - channel proteins allow charged ions to move across the membrane. Sodium ions are able to pass freely through specialized sodium channel pores into some cells. These channels always remain open- the ions move down their concentration gradient.

disa [49]

Answer:

The original phagocyte secretes cytokines that attract other phagocytes

Explanation:

Before phagocytosis occurs and with the presence of an original phagocyte at the scratch site mostly a macrophage (also a phagocyte), chemical signals signals are given off to attract phagocytes to the scratch site.

These chemical signals may be cytokines that are given off by macrophages located in the tissue near the infection site etc. These cytokines produced can then stimulate the recruitment of phagocytes including the neutrophils and monocytes from the blood.

During the miocene epoch of the cenozoic era, there was an adaptive radiation of which kind of primate?
ivann1987 [24]
During the miocene epoch of the Cenozoic era, there was an adaptive radiation of Apes. During the miocene, hominods radiated and dominate the primate world. The Miocene is a geological epoch that existed from roughly 24 million years ago to about 5.3 million years ago. During this period much of the continental Earth formed. The continents moved into positions that are recognizable in modern times, and flora and fauna evolved into species that exist today.
