Answer:

Facilitate diffusion is the process in which substances are transported across the plasma membrane along the concentration gradient with the help of carrier molecules.

In active transport also carrier proteins are used but they are used to transport the molecules against the concentration gradient.

Carrier proteins bind the molecules to be transported non-covalently and after binding, it undergoes a conformational change which helps in the movement of the molecule through the protein inside the cytoplasm of the cell.

Charged and polar molecules are mainly passed through facilitated diffusion like amino acids, carbohydrates, ions. The rate of transfer of molecules across the plasma membrane is higher in facilitated diffusion than simple diffusion.

This should be "(primary) active transport", transportation that requires ATP energy (and possibly carriers).

In communities where zebra mussels have invaded we observed that the population of invertebrates, zooplankton, and phytoplankton they will decrease when in open water. The population of bottom-dwelling invertebrates which are in the littoral zone will increase.
Hypothesis shows the zebra mussels will affect the fish negatively that feed on plankton in the open water but affect positively the fish which feed on invertebrates which are in the littoral zones.
The predictions by following the invasion of zebra muscles show that the number and growth rate of fish species in open water will decrease in population whereas the number and growth rate of fish species in the littoral zone will increase in population.

What is mutation? why are mutations more serious when they occur in a sex cell?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

A mutation is the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes. Mutations in sex cells are more serious because they are heritable and affect the next generation.

According to the instruction manual analogy, how many new volumes would each new cell contain whenever a cell splits? Write your

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Same volume as the cell it is divided from.

Explanation:

The particular volume will be diverse for different sorts of cells. The best answer would be that the new cell will essentially have a similar volume as the one that it formed or divided from. This is valid for most eukaryotic cells except if different variables like mutations or epigenetics condition.

Increasing volume of the cell and now likewise associated with cell division would be during the two phases G1 and G2 in the cell cycle. This is the development period of the cell preparing for division. No matter what are the condition other than mention above if mitosis or division occurs, the cells will ordinarily end with a similar volume as when it began.
