These chemical processes require energy. The respiration and metabolism require adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is cellular energy, and the organs get their fuel from the calories we consume. Without this energy, we eventually die

We have talked about the central and peripheral nervous systems. We know that the peripheral nervous system relays signals to an

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The peripheral nervous system has - Somatic nervous system and Autonomic nervous system.
These systems control our body action by this controls all the types of muscles.

Explanation:

Somatic nervous system have - Cranial nerves and Spinal nerves

Autonomic nervous system have - Sympathetic and Parasympathetic system.

The somatic nervous system controls our voluntary and involuntary actions by cranial and spinal nerves and controls all three types of muscles such as cardiac, smooth and skeletal.

The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary actions of our internal organs.

The sympathetic and parasympathetic system relates to all types of muscle.

The sympathetic and parasympathetic system accelerates and decelerates the heart beat respectively, by this controls the cardiac muscle.

The sympathetic and parasympathetic system stimulates and relaxes our internal organs respectively, by this controls the smooth muscles.

The sympathetic and parasympathetic system prepares our body as a whole for a action and also relaxes our whole body respectively, by this controls the skeletal muscles.

What is a major difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Major difference between active transport and facilitated difusion is:

Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.

Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Active transport involves the transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.
Since molecules move from lower concentration to higher concentration this mode of transport needs energy.
Facilitated diffusion do not require energy but need some other molecule or carrier protein to transport the molecules across the membranes.
In facilitated diffusion, the molecules move from their region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.
