Answers:
1. Facilitated diffusion: the process by which some molecules that are not able to pass directly through a cell membrane are able to enter the cell with the aid of transport proteins.
2. Osmosis: the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.
3. Diffusion: the spreading out of molecules across a cell membrane until to they are equally concentrated.
Step-by-step explanation:
Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration gradient.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to one of high solute concentration.
Facilitated transport occurs when molecules cannot diffuse directly through a cell membrane but can diffuse down a concentration gradient through transport channels in the membrane.
Answer: Both formulas identify the specific atoms in a particular compound. However, a structural formula also shows how the atoms in a compound are bonded together.
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Structural formula is the formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound by showing the bonding between the atoms.
Lewis structures show the valence electrons around each atom present in the compound.
Answer:
The shape allows the enzyme to bind with a specific substrate.
Explanation:
Substrates and enzymes are like puzzle pieces. They need to be specific shapes to fit together. When they fit together, they do their job wonderfully. If they are pushed together without being the correct shape, they could be damaged.
The nucleus contains the <u>DNA</u> (Deoxyribosenucleic Acid). It codes for all the hereditary characteristics an organism has and it is packaged into chromosomes within the nucleus.
