Image result for Do molecules move down their concentration gradient

In facilitated diffusion, substances move into or out of cells down their concentration gradient through protein channels in the cell membrane. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are similar in that both involve movement down the concentration gradient.

5 facts about the reproductive system

svp [43]

<span>After you ovulate, your egg is fertile for between 24 to 48 hours and a man’s sperm can survive in the female body for 48 hours. There have actually even been documented cases of live sperm surviving in the female reproductive system for eight days after intercourse!One breast is always larger than the other. Most of the time, it goes without notice but it is typical for breast size to be slightly mismatched. Some women can be born with two uteruses or two vaginas and have no idea until they notice abnormal menstruation or excessive bleeding. You are born with all the eggs you will ever have in a lifetime which can be anywhere from thousands to millions however, only about 300 to 400 of these eggs will mature and be released for fertilization. <span>You ovaries take turns each month releasing eggs.</span></span>

What characteristic of viruses distinguishes them from cells?

Helga [31]

Answer: Viruses, although not living things, do show some characteristics that they are living. Because they can't reproduce by themselves (without a host), viruses are not considered living. They are made of proteins and glycoproteins like cells are. They contain genetic information needed to produce more viruses in the form of DNA or RNA.

They are acellular, that is, they contain no cytoplasm or cellular organelles. They carry out no metabolism on their own and must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery.
