Why is osmosis both example of simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

Biology
1 answer:
vitfil [10]3 years ago
6 0
Facilitated diffusion is the process of diffusion in which molecules pass across the membrane through call membrane channels. Simple diffusion, is the process by which particles tend to move form an area where they are more concentrated into an area where they are less concentrated. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. The water moves inside of the cell if the pressure of water outside is higher, to achieve equilibrium. I hope this fulfills your inquire, and that I may help you next time.

How do muscle cells access what they need to keep producing energy
Ganezh [65]

Muscle cells access what they need to continue producing energy through chemical energy from ATP to transform it into mechanical energy.  

Muscle cells are elongated cells whose length can reach several centimeters.  

The muscle uses ATP (energy) to carry out conformational changes in its molecular structure => variation in the length of the sarcomere.  

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the basic source of energy for muscle contraction.  

Each link stores 7300 calories of energy per mole of ATP under normal conditions and when a phosphate radical is separated from the molecule, these calories are available providing the energy necessary for muscle contraction.  

The muscle cell has three mechanisms to resynthesize ATP:  

  • ATP synthesis through phosphocreatine.  

  • Anaerobic glycolysis process with the transformation of muscle glycogen into lactate.  

  • From oxidative phosphorylation.  

ATP synthesis through phosphocreatine consists of the transfer of energy from phosphocreatine to ADP so that it can reincorporate a phosphate group to its molecule and transform it into ATP.

So the energy that has been released in the hydrolysis of PCr is directly used to resynthesize ATP from ADP.  

Therefore, we can conclude that muscle cells access what they need to continue producing energy through the chemical energy of ATP to transform it into mechanical energy.

Explain the relationship between mutations, adaptations, natural selection, and extinction
Musya8 [376]

Mutations and natural selection cause adaptations. Mutations can cause instant adaptations, while natural selection is the process by which adaptations occurs over a series of generations.  

Adaptations are changes or processes of changes by which an organism or species becomes better suited for its environment.  

A mutation is an alteration of the DNA sequence. Sometimes such alterations code for the same amino acid sequence as the unaltered DNA strand during protein synthesis. In such a circumstance, the mutation is not detectable. However, other mutations alter the genetic code in such a way that a noticeable change in the trait that is associated with that gene is visible. Sometimes such mutations are advantageous and improve the organism's ability to survive in its environment.  

Natural selection is the process by which organisms with more advantageous traits (being camouflaged, being covered with the correct outer covering for the temperatures of that environment, stronger/ larger/ or faster to fight off or run from predators, etc.) are more likely to survive in a particular environment. Likewise, organisms less advantageous traits are more likely to die due to the pressures exerted by the environment (such as temperature, predators, illness, etc.). Therefore, the organisms with the advantageous traits that survive are more likely to survive to find a mate and reproduce. Thus, the advantageous traits are passed down to future generations.
