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.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

b. characterized by a lucid interval immediately after injury.

Explanation:

Epidural bleeding is the accumulation of blood between the dura (membrane lining the brain) and the skull. This bruise is typically caused by an acute head trauma that ruptures the middle meningeal artery. This bleeding is characterized by a lucid interval immediately after an injury to this region.

This bleeding has its most frequent location at the temporal lobe level, between the bone and the dura mater. It is due to rupture of the middle meningeal artery, usually by a temporal bone fracture. The artery runs on the outer surface of the dura, housed in a groove in the inner bone board. The fracture may clamp or cut the artery, leading to a bruise.

How are hormones and prostaglandins similar? how are they different?
solniwko [45]
Prostaglandin similarity with hormones is in the effect they achieve by binding to the receptors. Their effects are mediated by paracrine or autocrine mechanisms. Another hormone characteristic is the ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity, producing cAMP as the second messenger.  
<span>
On the other hand, prostaglandins differ from hormones in that they are not produced at a specific place but in many different places throughout the body. Also, the metabolic degradation of prostaglandins is very rapid.</span>
