Answer:

(b) Voltage gated

Explanation:

The cell membrane acts as a barrier that separates two aqueous media of different composition, the extracellular and the intracellular, regulating its composition. Most of the liposoluble drugs and solutes, when not ionized, directly cross the cell membrane through a passive diffusion process, which facilitates the passage of the medium where it is more concentrated to the one that is more diluted. The difference in concentration between the two media is called the concentration gradient, and diffusion will continue until this gradient is eliminated. According to Fick's law, the speed of this process will be much faster the higher the concentration gradient and the liposolubility of the molecule and the smaller its size.

More hydrophilic molecules, such as ions, are immiscible in membrane lipids and pass through specific specific transport mechanisms. In some cases, ions pass through hydrophilic pores called ion channels, and in others a favor of their concentration gradient is transported by binding to the transporter or transporter proteins. Both transport systems are passive and therefore do not consume energy. The great advantage is that the ion channels allow the flow of ions through a much higher speed than that of any other biological system. The flow of ions through each channel can be measured as an electric current, which is capable of producing rapid changes in membrane potential.

What are some benefits of enzyme production in the process of digestion.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

<u><em>definition;</em></u>

enzymes are protein that catalyze speed up the biochemical reactions and are not changed during the reaction . the molecules at which enzyme work  are called <em>substrate </em> and enzymes convert them into  different molecules called products.

<em><u>benefits of enzyme in digestion ;</u></em>

enzyme lower the activation energy in several ways. they may alter the shape of substrate and reduce the requirement of activation energy . enzyme may also  lower activation energy by bringing substrate in correct orientation to react . enzyme break down <em>carbohydrates, lipids and  proteins  </em>which are component of human food .In digestion larger molecules are broken into smaller molecules like amino acids ,simple sugars ,fatty acid ,vitamins ,salts and water to provide to cells.  these molecules are  a part of larger molecules like protein ,polysaccharids  and lipids . enzymes like amylaze, lypase   ,salivary amylase, pepsin ; it is a very strong protein digesting enzyme it is released in its inactive form pepsinogen  which is converted into pepsin with the help of H-C-L  hydrochloric acid it takes part in digestion in stomach

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

More ATP to be created for a total of 36:

Explanation:

Advantages of Aerobic Respiration

With oxygen, organisms can break down glucose all the way to carbon dioxide. This releases enough energy to produce up to 38 ATP molecules. I I think this is the answer.
