Summarize how small, nonpolar molecules enter and leave the cell (and why).

Biology
1 answer:
Margaret [11]3 years ago

Answer:

Small, nonpolar molecules (ex: oxygen and carbon dioxide) can pass through the lipid bilayer and do so by squeezing through the phospholipid bilayers. They don't need proteins for transport and can diffuse across quickly.

Explanation:

The channel proteins act like doors through the cell membrane.

They allow large polar molecules to move in and out of the cell.

The process is called passive diffusion or passive transport, because it does not need energy.

Sometimes the protein changes shape to help the polar molecules move through the channel.

It often uses a gated pore mechanism, in which the channel is never completely open.

Which could be a pathway of food through an ecosystem?​
algol13

Answer:

Sun > Grass > Deer > Lion

Explanation:

The sun begins a food chain because its light is needed for a plant, in this case grass, to grow.

An animal that eats grass is the deer, who is a primary consumer.

An animal that eats deer is the lion, who is a tertiary consumer in this case.

The lion has no natural predator, and thus is at the top of this food chain.

This ecosystem can be one found where grass, deer and lions exist, for example, the deciduous forest in the eastern United States.
