Facilitated diffusion. It is a passive transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell’s energy supplies. Instead, the energy is provide by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell. The carrier proteins bind to glucose, which causes them to change shape and translocate the glucose from one side of the membrane to the other. Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.
Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of a toxic chemical in the tissue of a particular organism.
Biomagnification refers to the increased concentration of a toxic chemical the higher an animal is on the food chain.
Answer:
Foods are ingested by the mouth where they are chewed by the teeth and savored by the taste buds present in the tongue. In the mouth, saliva breaks down food into substances that are easier to digest. Subsequently, the pharynx allows food to be swallowed and it pushes the food into the esophagus, the contractions of the esophageal muscle allow the movement of the food through the esophagus and to the stomach where the food is mixed with the juices and are mostly digested. In the stomach nutrients are absorbed. There are particles that are not absorb and they pass to the intestine where other nutrients are transported to the blood, then pass to the large interstinum where there is water absorption and stool formation that are expelled through the rectum.
