Define interstitial fluid, indicating whether it is inside or outside cells (intracellular or extracellular).

Biology
1 answer:
torisob [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Interstitial fluid is the extracellular fluid that is present in the narrow spaces between the cells of tissues.

Explanation:

Depending upon the location, the body fluid can be defined as extracellular or intracellular fluid. The extracellular fluid is the body fluid present outside the cells. Interstitial fluid is extracellular fluid. It is extracellular as it is present in the gaps between the cells of tissues.  

Its composition and function vary with its location in the body. The interstitial fluid serves as a site from where cells take up oxygen and nutrients while releasing the toxic and waste substances into it.

What is the basic difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion across a cell membrane? hints?
Licemer1 [7]

Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.  

Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.  

The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:  

They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).  

They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.

How does nitrogen leave a food chain?
vitfil [10]

Answer: c

Explanation: Plants and animals need nitrogen to make proteins but they cannot take it in from the air. Because nitrogen is unreactive as a gas, it has to be transformed into a new molecule. When bacteria in the soil takes nitrogen from the air, it becomes nitrates. Finally, it can move through the food chain in this form.
