Answer:
Both facilitated diffusion and active transport are selective processes. Only selective molecules are allowed to cross the membrane. They utilize carrier proteins to move across the membrane.
Explanation:
Diffusion is the process by which molecules move across a membrane respective of the concentration gradient. The plasma membrane is a <em>selectively permeable membrane</em> which allows specific molecules to move across the concentration gradient.
Molecules migrate from a region of higher concentration to a lower concentration in case of diffusion. It can be classified into simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. These are examples of <em>passive transport</em>.
In facilitated diffusion molecules move across the concentration gradient with the help of <em>carrier proteins or channel proteins</em>. The carrier proteins bind to the molecule which has to be transported and change conformation to allow it to cross the membrane. For example glucose molecule is carried across through <em>GLUT transporter</em>. <em>Channel proteins</em> open a channel inside the membrane and molecules get transported across the gradient.
Active transport carries molecules against the concentration gradient with the assist of energy. ATP hydrolysis is utilized to generate energy. As a result of active transport, the molecules are aggregated on one side of the membrane.
Answer:
the <u><em>cell membrane</em></u> is an extremely pliable structure composed primarily of back -to- back phospholipids (a "bilayer")
During cellular respiration, the products produced are CO2 and H2O. This is from the addition of oxygen to the glucose or carbon components. Cellular respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis which on the other hand uses <span>CO2 and H2O to produce O2 and energy</span>
The nettle animals. Corals, sea anemones and jellyfish belong to a group of animals called cnidarians (pronounced 'nid-air-e-ans'). ... With 1,048 marine species, cnidarians are one of the largest groups of invertebrates in New Zealand waters.
1. Sun (heat on the water)
2. Body of water
3. Evaporation( the specks going up to the sky)
4. The cloud
5 rain cloud
6. Rainfall (becoming a runoff)-> sent back into the cycle
