Answer:

facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Substances tend to move in and out of living cells via the selectively permeable membrane (plasma membrane), which helps controls what goes in and out of the cell. Movement of these substances can either be passive or active depending on whether energy is needed for the transport to take place.

Passive transport of substances is that which does not require energy input before it occurs. According to the question, FACILITATED DIFFUSION suits this category. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of substances (ions) that cannot freely diffuse into a cell due to their polarity, via carrier molecules (protein channels and carrier proteins). They help diffuse molecules through the plasma membrane of the cell. This form of transport is passive i.e. does not expend energy, because the substances move down their concentration gradient. The helper proteins are just channels/carriers to get the substances in or out of the cell.

A good example of facilitated diffusion is the movement of water molecules across the cell membrane with the help of carrier proteins called AQUAPORINS.

____________ is a membrane protein that catalyzes the energy requiring synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
olasank [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The production of ATP from ADP and Pi (inorganic phosphate) catalyzed by an enzyme known as ATP synthase.

ATP synthase is made up of two main regions called F₀ and F₁ in which F₀ is embedded in the membrane and acts as a pump through which proton flux takes place. The F₁ unit is the rotating unit of the ATP synthase which rotates due to energy provides by the protons during proton flux.

When proton moves through F₀  unit down their concentration gradient, it provides energy to the F₁ subunits which bind ADP and inorganic phosphate to release ATP.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Leona [35]

The Best-Correct Statements as it Pertains to the Control Group and Experimental Group are:

  • The Control Group Receives No Drug while The Experimental Group Receives No Drug 911-918.
<h3 />

What are the control and experimental group in a study?

The control group in a study is the group in which no changes are applied to the group.

In the control group, the variables are kept constant, hence, the control group is also known as the constant group.

The experimental group in a study is the group to which the treatment being studied is applied. The control group receives the treatment of the variable under study.

Hence, the group that receives the drug 911-918 is the experimental group.
