Where does diffusion take place in the body?

Biology
2 answers:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
8 0
The process of diffusion takes place all over the body. It is a vital process for the body to maintain the environment in which the cells and organs work. For instance when food is digested and the nutrients that are needed for the normal functioning of the cells are released, they are carried around in the bloodstream until they reach a needy cell whereupon the nutrients diffuse from an area of high concentration (blood stream) to an area of low nutrient concentration (the cell). The medicines that we take are also absorbed in the same way and take effect after a process of diffusion .

Is the movement of water along the concentration gradient
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

<em>- Is the movement of water along the concentration gradient: </em><em>Osmosis</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the use of energy to move the particles against the concentration gradient: </em><em>Active transport</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the movement of particles by diffusion without energy: </em><em>Simple diffusion</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the movement of particles along the concentration gradient: </em><em>Passive transport</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

The mechanisms of cellular transport involve all the processes that the cell carries out to incorporate substances into its interior or send them to the extracellular space, through its semipermeable cell membrane.

<h3>- Osmosis</h3>

Is a type of transport that consists of the passage of water from a space with a lower concentration of solutes to one with a higher concentration, in order to reach equilibrium, following a concentration gradient.

The concentration gradient is given by the difference in concentration between two substances, which indicates the direction in which molecules, such as water, should move from one place to another.

<h3>- Active transport</h3>

Unlike passive transport mechanisms, which depend on a concentration gradient that determines the movement of particles, in active transport there are two characteristics that define it:

The passage of substances into the cell against a concentration gradient.

The use of energy to carry out this process.

In this case, the passage of substances through the cell membrane will be according to the requirements of the cell, or when they cannot pass through the membrane.

<h3>- Simple diffusion</h3>

According to the characteristics of the cell membrane, some substances can pass freely through it while others require special mechanisms. When a molecule is able to pass through the membrane without the use of special mechanisms or energy we speak of simple diffusion.

In a cell membrane, whose composition is by hydrophobic or non-polar lipid molecules, simple diffusion allows the passage of non-polar molecules, gases and alcohol.

<h3>- Passive transport</h3>

Refers to the mechanism of entry and exit of substances from the cell that does not require the use of energy.

The mechanisms involved in the passive transport of the cell are simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion - which requires special conveyors or channels - and ultrafiltration, which depends on hydrostatic pressure. Examples of substances using this mechanism are lipid molecules, water and electrolytes.

Identify the phases of Meiosis II described below.
Annette [7]

1. The lining up of chromosomes by the spindle fibers takes place at metaphase II phase. It is the second stage of meiosis II, the spindle draws the chromosomes towards the metaphase plate.  

2. The formation of the nuclear envelope around each set of DNA takes place in telophase II. Along with the formation of the nuclear envelope, the process of cytokinesis also takes place in telophase II, producing four daughter cells, each comprising a haploid set of chromosomes.  

3. The sister chromatids are pulled apart in anaphase II stage. In this phase, the sister chromatids are migrated towards the opposite poles of the cell with the help of protein fibers.  

4. The centromeres are moved towards the poles of the cell at prophase II stage.
