Explain why ions do not move through ion channels by only simple diffusion, whereas water does move through water channels by si

mple diffusion.
Specifically, what, in addition to the concentration gradient, affects the movement of ions through ion channels?

Answer:

Electrical gradient.

Explanation:

Ions DO NOT move in Ion channels by simple diffusion because most ion channels can be:

I) selective of ions pass through it.

II) operating on a "open and close" principle. Where it opens or close on its own accord OR does so ONLY when induced by a specific influence like change in voltage of ion channels.

IN ADDITION to the concentration gradient, ELECTRICAL GRADIENTS (change in membrane voltage) affects the movement of ions through ion channels

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Lipolysis

Gluconeogenesis

Ketogenesis

Explanation:

The physiological responses to starvation follows the below steps;

  • Change of carbohydrate metabolism to fat metabolism
  • Glycogen stores are depleted
  • Increase in gluconeogenesis occurs in 1 to 2 days of starvation
  • Ketogenesis takes over due to decreased insulin levels
  • Increased starvation from this step leads to protein catabolism and then organ failures

In pea plants, smooth (S) peas are dominant over wrinkled (s) peas in the single gene controlling pea texture. A plant with smoo
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Ss and ss

Explanation:

<em>Since the smooth trait (S) is dominant over the wrinkle trait (s), the genotype of the wrinkled pea parent is definitely </em><em>ss</em><em>.</em>

<em>Also, some of the progeny had wrinkled pea texture (ss). Each of the 2 wrinkled alleles must have been donated by each of the parent. It thus means that the smooth pea parent is heterozygous for the trait (</em><em>Ss</em><em>).</em>

Now, let us look at a cross between the two parents;

  Ss   x   ss

Progeny: Ss, Ss, ss, ss.

Phenotypically, 50% of the progeny are smooth peas while 50% are wrinkled.

Looking at the population of each of the phenotype resulting from the cross. 252:247 is approximately a 50:50 ratio.

Hence, the genotypes of the two parents are Ss and ss.
