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.

What is the cost of electricity if 42000 kWh is used at a rate of $0.04/kWh?
gulaghasi [49]

The cost of the electricity if 42000 kWh of electricity is used is ;  $1680

<h3>Determine the cost of electricity </h3>

<u>Given that ;</u>

value of electricity used = 42000 kWh

cost rate of electricity = $0.04/kWh

Final step : Determine the total cost of electricty used

unit cost = $0.04/kWh

Totals cost = unit cost * value of electricity used

                  = 0.04 * 42000 = $1680

Hence we can conclude that The cost of the electricity if 42000 kWh of electricity is used is ;  $1680.

How can a small change to the temperature of ocean water have a big effect on a tropical depression?
makkiz [27]
Heat waves can be dangerous, causing illnesses such as heat cramps and heat stroke, or even death. Warmer temperatures can also lead to a chain reaction of other changes around the world. That's because increasing air temperature also affects the oceans, weather patterns, snow and ice, and plants and animals.

pychu [463]

Answer:

b. Cities like New York, New Orleans, and Miami will be flooded by ocean water.

Explanation:

The theory says global warming will cause the temperature of the planetary atmosphere to rise. The hotter environment will make ice masses of Greenland, and the poles to melt completely and make coastal cities like New York, New Orleans, and Miami flooded by the ocean.
