In which case would facilitated diffusion be needed?

Biology
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The voltage-gated potassium channels associated with an action potential provide an example of what type of membrane transport?

A. Simple diffusion.

B.<u> Facilitated diffusion. </u>

C. Coupled transport.

D. Active transport.

You are studying the entry of a small molecule into red blood cells. You determine the rate of movement across the membrane under a variety of conditions and make the following observations:

i. The molecules can move across the membrane in either direction.

ii. The molecules always move down their concentration gradient.

iii. No energy source is required for the molecules to move across the membrane.

iv. As the difference in concentration across the membrane increases, the rate of transport reaches a maximum.

The mechanism used to get this molecule across the membrane is most likely:

A. simple diffusion.

<u>B. facilitated diffusion. </u>

C. active transport.

D. There is not enough information to determine a mechanism.

Carrier proteins - exist in two conformations, altered by high affinity binding of the transported molecule. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLE: GluT1 erythrocyte glucose transporter.

Channel proteins - primarily for ion transport. Form an aqueous pore through the lipid bilayer. May be gated. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLES: Voltage-gated sodium channel, erytrhocyte bicarbonate exchange protein.

This might be helpful... because I don't know anything about facilitated diffusion.

What can the muscular system be compared to in a car?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Engine is very much similar to the muscular system in a car.

Explanation:

The system is made up of the tissues which work with skeltal system to control the movement  of the body is called Muscular System. In a car the engine is very much similar to the muscular system. They both help their systems to move. Without them the car or body would not going to operate.Like the human body car parts are also specialised & perform specific tasks, but they all depend on each other.Many would compare the engine of the car with heart of human body.The heart is the engine of the body just like the car. Our brain is very much similar to the the car's computer system or CPU.Every car  is powered by an engine and most cars use an internal combustion engine which runs on gasoline.A car's overall power is a function of the size of engine as well as the factors such as timing of combustion and the type of transmission used.

The plasma membrane are composed of specific types of phospholipids that are asymmetrically distributed between the two monolaye
nlexa [21]

Answer:

b.Movement of phospholipids in the plasma membrane from one monolayer to the other requires the polar or charged head groupd to enter the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer. This process requires a large positive change in free-energy, thus making this type of movement unlikely without an input of energy

The plasma membrane serves a protective function for the cell and is a selective membrane for particles entry

Why did scientists eventually choose to support darwin's ideas about natural selection as a mechanism behind evolution rather th
BaLLatris [955]
The correct answer is D. The theory of natural selection provided a better explanation of the processes that were being observed by the scientists.They observed that the related species birds found on one island were slightly different from that of the other, and certain portions earth, have the species, which were not found anywhere else.
