Answer: Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport
Explanation:
The processes of transport between the cell and the external environment can be grouped into groups: Passive Processes - occur through the plasma membrane, without energy expenditure to the cell, to equalize cell concentration with the external medium. Examples of such processes are diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis. Active processes - occur through the plasma membrane, with energy expenditure, maintaining the concentration difference between the cell and the external environment. For example, sodium-potassium pump. Diffusion In diffusion, particles move from the highest concentration medium to the lowest concentration medium, so that it can be distributed throughout the medium. Therefore diffusion is a process called passive transport. Facilitated Diffusion is the passive transport of substances across the plasma membrane, without wasting cell metabolic energy, allowing the passage of substrates (molecules or ions) from a more concentrated to a less concentrated medium through specific mediation of carrier proteins, enzymes carriers or permeases along the plasma membrane. This process is mainly used to transport carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins and some ions: sodium, potassium, calcium. Osmosis is the name given to the movement of water between media with different concentrations of solutes separated by a semipermeable membrane. It is an important physicochemical process in cell survival.
The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport. Sodium concentration is higher in the extracellular environment while potassium is higher in the intracellular environment. Importantly, the energy required for this change comes from the breakdown of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate. The sodium (Na +) ion in the cytoplasm is pumped out of the cell. In the extracellular medium, the potassium ion (K +) is pumped into the internal medium. If there was no efficient active transport, the concentration of these ions would equal. Thus, the sodium and potassium pump is important as it establishes the difference in electrical charge between the two sides of the membrane that is critical for muscle and nerve cells and facilitates the penetration of amino acids and sugars.

Which of the following is NOT true about storage body fat? A. Storage body fat acts as an insulator to the body. B. Storage body
finlep [7]

B. Storage body fat helps increase the effects of aging.

Explanation:

Fats are organic compounds that are insoluble in water and tend to solidify at room temperature.

Fats are essentially produced in animal body.

These are one of three macro-nutrients required in the body.

Adipose tissue which are also known as padding tissue function as a store house of fat.

They serve as cushion and protect the internal organs from shock or injury.

Fats are storehouse of energy and provide much more energy than the carbohydrates could.

They insulate the body and prevent the loss of heat in cold weathers.

Who would like to help me with this because I am homeschooled and I do not know 20 people to survey. I have maybe 3 people in my
larisa86 [58]
I would just survey whoever is in my house. And I will be honest I have no idea what the survey is about but obviously your school (k12 maybe?) would not expect you to go around the neighborhood asking random people where their knuckle hair is located. All I can say Is try your best. Hope this helped. XD

PLZ HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
dusya [7]

Answer:

1) Oxygen, sugar, water and carbon dioxide are the main starting material and products of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

2) The diagram shows that cellular respiration which requires oxygen and sugar is the opposite of photosynthesis which requires water and carbon dioxide. The products of cellular respiration are the starting materials or photosynthesis and the products of photosynthesis are the starting materials for cellular respiration.
