Chloride ions cannot move out of cells by simple diffusion.

Biology
1 answer:
Goshia [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Facilitated Diffusion.

Explanation:

Most substances use simple diffusion, move across a membrane because they are smaller and polar. But for chloride ions, that is not the case.

Chloride Ions are charged negatively, and since they are negatively charged, they cannon move across the membrane without help from something. Therefore, chloride ions move by facilitated diffusion using carrier proteins.

Facilitated Diffusion is the process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.

That explains how chloride ions can move in and out of cells.

If the concentration of water in the air surrounding a plant is less than the concentration of water inside the plants vacuoles
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<em>The water will diffuse into the air.</em>

Explanation:

Diffusion can be described as a process through which molecules travel from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration along the concentration gradient. Such processes do not require energy. As the concentration of water is less in the air surrounding the cell as compared to the inside of the cell hence, the water molecules will move out of the vacuole and into the air by the process of diffusion.
