What is a major difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?

Biology
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Major difference between active transport and facilitated difusion is:

Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.

Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

  • Active transport involves the transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.
  • Since molecules move from lower concentration to higher concentration this mode of transport needs energy.
  • Facilitated diffusion do not require energy  but need some other molecule or carrier protein to transport the molecules across the membranes.
  • In facilitated diffusion, the molecules move from their region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

Why might food scientists improve your favorite breakfast food?
Makovka662 [10]
They might improve it because you eat it everyday. If you eat it everyday, it should be healthy and nutritious. They aren't going to want to make bad food that kids eat everyday, end up putting in something not good or healthy, then getting sued. They are going to make the best quality food.

changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and blood profile in mares during the last 3 months of gestation and the peripartum perio
Scrat [10]

Warmblood mares that were pregnant (n = 10) had their peripartum alterations in blood pressure, heart rate, complete blood count, plasma electrolyte concentrations, and heart rate variability (HRV) assessed.

<h3>What is Gestation ?</h3>

The time during which an embryo, and eventually a fetus, develops inside viviparous animals is known as the gestational period. Although certain non-mammals also experience it, it is usual for mammals. When mammals are pregnant, they may have one or more gestations concurrently, as in the case of multiple births.

<h3>What is peripartum period ?</h3>

The time just prior to, during, and soon following childbirth.

Everyone agrees that the postpartum period starts when the baby is born. Although the end is less well defined, it is sometimes thought to occur six to eight weeks after delivery because by then the effects of pregnancy on many systems have essentially gone back to their pre-pregnancy states.
