How does facilitated diffusion differ from simple diffusion

Biology
1 answer:
Dafna1 [17]3 years ago
4 0
Facilitated diffusion is the process of moving molecules across the membrane with the help of transport proteins to make the transportation of the molecules a lot easier and smoother.

Simple diffusion, however, does not have the assistance of transport proteins. Simple diffusion takes place when molecules move from a high concentration (of said molecule) to a low concentration. 

The difference: Facilitated diffusion has the help of transport proteins while simple diffusion does not. 

Hope I could help! If this isn't the answer you are looking for, or just...completely wrong, please let me know!

What happens right before transcription begins?
Ahat [919]
Transcription is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, and it happens in the nucleus.  We can automatically rule out B.  B is incorrect because it doesn't make sense; how can a process stop before it even begins?

A.  I believe this is incorrect because mRNA is involved when the genetic information needs to leave the nucleus.  mRNA would take it to a ribosome outside of a nucleus.  Since transcription happens in the nucleus, mRNA is irrelevant before it starts.

C.  This doesn't really make sense.  mRNA carries information from the DNA, but not vice versa (in these early stages).

D.  This would make the most sense, since RNA polymerase needs to attach to the promoter on the strand before transcription can begin.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "frameshift mutations".

Explanation:

The reading frame of a gene is based on base-pair triplets, starting from the start codon until the ribosome encounters with the end codon. Base-pair additions and deletions are collectively referred to as frameshift mutations because they alter the reading frame of the gene. Base-pair additions and deletions break down the original sequence of the gene triplets, which alters the open reading frame and usually results in the production of non active proteins.
