Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.
The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:
They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).
They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.
Answer:
They fall from the clouds as ice crystals.
They form around particles in the atmosphere.
They form when water vapor is converted directly to ice crystals.
Explanation:
Answer:
forests maintain a balance between the amount of carbon-dioxide and oxygen gases in the atmosphere...
Hope this helps!!❤
As the experts says, solar eclipse do not happen always like lunar
eclipses do that is visible for a long periods of time and are observable. Unlike
solar eclipse, it happens hundreds and thousands of years to see it. Few people
can only see solar eclipse, and those only those people
who are in the small region where the Moon's umbra strike's Earth can witness
one.
