B)Facilitated diffusion is a form of active transport. Regular diffusion is a form of passive transport.
Answer:
Types of biological macromolecules
Biological macromolecule Building blocks Examples
Lipids Fatty acids and glycerol Fats, phospholipids, waxes, oils, grease, steroids
Proteins Amino acids Keratin (found in hair and nails), hormones, enzymes, antibodies
Nucleic acids Nucleotides DNA, RNA
Explanation:
Molecules with similar shapes have similar biological effects, because shape (structure) dictates effects (functions).
The right answer is <span>A) semi-permeable membrane
<span>A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane permeable to a liquid (solvent) and impermeable (or poorly permeable) to substances dissolved in the liquid (solute).
</span>The tubule of a kidney consists of a semi-permeable membrane and has also specific transporters which allow absorption and reabsorption. These "tools" allows some substances like ions to be absorbed/reabsorbed (by the transporters), without any changes in the concentration of the other substances (because both the membrane and the transporters stopped them).</span>
