Answer: diffusion

Explanation:

Diffusion is the over all movement of molecules from one region where it is in high concentration to another another region where it is in lower concentration.

This movement continues until the concentration of both regions are equal. Smaller non polar molecules are able to diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the membrane .

Movement through the membrane is dependent on the concentration gradient, that is the difference in concentration between the two areas.

It is also dependent on the size of the molecule

Why is feedback inhibition important in metabolic pathways?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

To balance the production of certain products.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is when byproduct from metabolic reactions in cells accumulates and is in excess. The product goes and inhibits the enzyme that is responsible for speeding its chemical reaction, balancing the amount of product needed, with the amount already produced.

Therefore feedback inhibition is important in metabolic pathways because it balances the production of amino acids and nucleotides. It is there to ensure that the exact amount needed is produced.

Induced movement or induced motion is an illusion in which people tend look into it moving even it is really not moving.
