Answer:

An increase in membrane thickness

Explanation:

Gaseous exchange occurs in relation to Fick's Law which states:

'the rate of diffusion is proportional to both the surface area and concentration difference and is inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane

Therefore, based on this law, an increase in the thickness of the membrane will result in a decreased diffusion rate which will in turn slow down the process of gaseous exchange

Answer:

a. It's a carrier protein doing facillitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion may be defined as the transportation of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration that is down the concentration gradient without input of the energy. Whereas the active transport is transportation of the molecules from the low concentration to the high concentration which is against concentration gradient by the membrane protein.

The glucose transportation process requires membrane protein for the transport and does not require any energy. Therefore, it is carrier protein which is doing the facilitated diffusion.

  1. Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall surrounding their cell membrane .The Prokaryotic cells don't have a well defined nucleus .The genetic material of the cell is basically naked and not enveloped by the Nuclear membrane .
  2. Eukaryotic cells don't have a cell wall surrounding their cell membrane. The Eukaryotic cells have a well organised nucleus .The genetic material of the cell is surrounded by nuclear membrane or nuclear envelope.
  3. Both Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have DNA.Both have a plasma membrane or cell membrane.
