A student is experimenting with a substance that moves into the cell via facilitated diffusion. The student notes that as the co
ncentration of the substance outside of the cell increases, the rate of movement of the substance into the cell increase and then plateaus. What explains the phenomenon seen by the student?
Osmosis is the movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. This type of movement of molecules occurs in the body cells. When the concentration of molecules is higher outside the cell than the inside, the molecules goes inside the cell through semi-permeable membrane.
Facilitated diffusion requires transport proteins, which will become saturated at high levels of the substance.
Explanation:
Facilitated diffusion does not require ATP energy nor does it require water. it does require helper proteins, which are not infinite. The proteins will become saturated at some point. This will make the rate of facilitated diffusion level out at some point.
I believe It is A because fissure eruptions are common on large volcanoes and also is built up by many layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.
