Identify the components of the plasma membrane involved in facilitated diffusion

1 answer:

8 0

Facilitated diffusion, is a type of diffusion that uses a medium such as a channel in the plasma membrane for any particle to pass from high to low concentration gradient. Moreover, this type of transport is described as passive since it does not use ATP.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, cerebellum.

Explanation:

Alcohol acts as a CNS depressant. When more amount of alcohol is taken and the levels of alcohol rise within the body, some sections of the brain get influenced and a reduction in the functioning is witnessed in that particular part.

The region of the brain accountable for coordinating movement and also some kinds of learning seems to be sensitive specifically to the consumption of alcohol. Thus, cerebellum is the part of the brain, which gets most affected due to the consumption of alcohol. Therefore, test is performed to witness the balance of an individual, as cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible for appropriate posture and balance.

Based on the model of cellular transport, the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP provide a mechanism for

Ronch [10]

Answer:

<em>Cellular transport is the movement of ions or molecules across the membrane of the cell through either active or passive process.</em>

Explanation:

During active transport, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used. In passive transport, ATP is not used. In active cellular transport, the ions move across the membrane against the concentration gradient.

For ATP to be used, it has to get hydrolyzed thereby forming ADP and inorganic phosphate. On the other hand, ADP captures the energy through the oxidation process taking place in the cell.

omeli [17]

Answer: D. It yields chromosomes that contain both maternal and paternal DNA.

Explanation:

The recombination or crossing over is a genetic process. It takes place during the Prophase I of meiosis. The homologous pair align and held together by synapsis. This results in the mixture of genes combination formed from both parents that can be represented as a single chromosome.

If the recombination do not occur then each chromosome will be either 100% maternal or paternal. Thus recombination assures the recombinant chromosomes which consists of genetic material from both parents. Thus the genetic diversity of offspring increases.
