Answer:

The movement of glucose across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion one of the form of passive transport because it does not require the energy to transport the glucose molecule across the cell membrane and the transport is along the concentration gradient.

In facilitated diffusion the passage of molecules if facilitated by a carrier protein or a channel protein. The rate of transport of molecules in facilitated diffusion is greater than simple diffusion.  

Through facilitated diffusion, some polar and charged molecules can cross the cell membrane without the expense of energy.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

1,250,000 shrimps per m³

Explanation:

Population density refers to how dense an area is per unit area/volume, and it is calculated by dividing the number of individuals in that area (population) by the area/volume of that area. That is;

Population density = population (N)/volume

According to this question, a certain lake has a volume of about 480 m³ that harbors a 600 million of freshwater shrimp. This means that;

Population density of the lake = population of shrimps ÷ volume of lake

Population density = 600,000,000 ÷ 480

Population density = 1,250,000 shrimps per m³
