Answer:

a. ΔG was negative.

Explanation:

The answer is a. ΔG was negative because, for a biochemical reaction to occur and provide energy for cellular metabolism, the Gibbs free energy ΔG = ΔH - TΔS < 0 , for spontaneity. If all terms on the right were to be negative, then ΔG = -ΔH - (-TΔS) = TΔS - ΔH and would only be less than zero if the absolute value of ΔH > absolute value of TΔS. If ΔG was positive as in C, the reaction would not be spontaneous and energy would have to be put into the biochemical reaction for it to occur. If all terms on the right were positive, then, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS < 0 when TΔS > ΔH , else ΔG > 0 and energy would have to be put into the biochemical reaction for it to occur, so its not spontaneous.

In facilitated diffusion, __________ proteins provide openings in the plasma membrane for substances to flow through without cha
denpristay [2]

Answer: CHANNEL PROTEINS provide openings in the plasma membrane for substances to flow through without changing structure, and CARRIER PROTEINS allow passage of substances through the plasma membrane after undergoing a subtle change in shape.

Explanation: They are described thus:

A channel protein is a protein that allows the transport of specific substances across a cell membrane.

Carrier proteins are proteins that carry substances from one side of a biological membrane to the other. Many carrier proteins are found in a cell’s membrane, though they may also be found in the membranes of internal organelles such as the mitochondria, chloroplasts, nucleolus, and others.
