Describe facilitated diffusion of glucose through carrier proteins

Biology
1 answer:
Mrac [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Facilitated diffusion is a kind of <u>passive diffusion</u>* that utilizes a <u>carrier protein/channel proteins in the cell bilayer</u> that lets molecules pass untouched by the hydrophobic bilayer. This is a common form of transport for <u>polar molecules</u> like <em>carbohydrates (glucose for this question)</em>, <em>amino acids, ions</em>, etc. Glucose transporters or GLUT bind specific molecules from outside of the cell membrane then transport it inside the cell by undergoing a conformational change in shape.

These process usually <u>happens in red blood cells.</u>

*Passive diffusion is a kind of cell transporting mechanism that <u>doesn't require energy or the use of ATP</u>. It either diffuses freely or with the use of proteins.

What process is occurring in this picture at B?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

Translation is the second process that occurs in protein synthesis. It is the process whereby mRNA template is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence, which eventually becomes a protein.

The process of translation occurs in the cytoplasm (specifically in the ribosome). As depicted in this image, the mRNA produced during transcription is transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. A RNA molecule called tRNA reads the mRNA sequence (codon by codon) and carries corresponding amino acid into the growing amino acid sequence.

Hence, according to this question, the process occuring at B according to this image is TRANSLATION.

What is one potential result of climate change that could inhibit (reduce) kelp's ability to do photosynthesis?
Bogdan [553]
One potential result of climate change is greenhouse effect that is defined as the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that retains heat radiated from the sun. While this can seem beneficial because plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis, elevated levels of carbon dioxide actually inhibit photosynthetic mechanisms (Xu, 2015).

What is pollination? Identify three ways pollen can be transferred. How is cross-pollination different
Stells [14]

Answer:

The transfer of pollen to a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to allow fertilization. It can be transferred by things that feed from what has pollen. Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower, or another flower on the same plant. Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species.
