In which case would facilitated diffusion be needed?

Biology
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago

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.

sdas [7]

Answer:

39, 45

27, 42

6, 7

Explanation:

In 13 meters depth, there are 39 bubbles produced per plant in one minute and 45 bubbles are formed per plant in one minute. In the depth of 20 meters, there are 27 bubbles produced per plant in one minute and 42 bubbles are formed per plant in one minute. In 28 meters depth, there are 6 bubbles produced per plant in one minute and 7 bubbles are formed per plant in one minute.

When does the cell cycle start at? When does it end?
disa [49]

The D period refers to the stage between the end of DNA replication and the splitting of the bacterial cell into two daughter cells. In cells with a nucleus, as in eukaryotes, the cell cycle is also divided into three periods: interphase, the mitotic (M) phase, and cytokinesis.

How do the new strands compare to the original strand from which they came?
zzz [600]

Answer: The hydrogen bonds holding the base pairs together in a DNA molecule are relatively weak compared to other chemical bonds. ... The new nucleotides join together to form the sugar-phosphate backbone of a new strand of DNA. The result is two DNA molecules identical to the original.
