Explain one way in which facilitated diffusion is the same as simple diffusion and one way in which it is different from simple

diffusion.
Biology
1 answer:
Vilka [71]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. Both facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion move substances according to the concentration gradient.

2. Facilitated diffusion uses membrane transport proteins while simple diffusion does not use them.  

Explanation:

Both facilitated and simple diffusions are the passive processes. This means that these two processes do not use the energy to transport substances. Rather concentration gradient of the substance moves them spontaneously. Therefore, both the processes move substances from higher to lower concentration.  

However, facilitated diffusion uses channels and carrier proteins to move the polar and charged particles that cannot diffuse freely across the membrane.  channels and carrier proteins are the membrane proteins. Simple diffusion does not involve membrane transport proteins.

Describe how the structural makeup of a muscle contributes to the muscle's ability to do its job.
Nady [450]

The basic structure of a muscle fiber is comprised of actin and myosin protein chains that straddle each other in a fusiform arrangement. The actin and myosin arrays interlock and move past each other to cause contraction of the muscle. They then move back to their initial positions in relaxation. This gives muscles their elasticity and distensibility.  The muscle fibers are bundled, in their 10s to 100s up into myofibrils around an endomysium. Many myofibrils are also bound up in a perimysium to form a muscle fiber.

Rank from the first to the last steps to describe the correct order of events of erythrocyte death.
timama [110]

Answer:

1. erythrocyte becomes trapped in the sinusoids of spleen.

2. Spleen macrophages digest the erythrocytes.

3. Hemoglobin is broken down into amino acids, iron and bilirubin.

4. Iron ions and amino acids are recycled to make new hemoglobin in red bone marrow. Bilirubin is sent to liver for excretion.

Explanation

Aging erythrocytes are trapped in the sinusoids of the spleen, where they are digested by macrophages. Within the macrophage, hemoglobin is broken down into amino acids, iron ions, and bilirubin.

Iron ions or heme ion and amino acids then move through the blood to the bone marrow, where they are recycled and used to create new hemoglobin. Bilirubin travels with the help of the blood to the liver, where it is modified and then excreted.

thus, the correct order is :

1. erythrocyte becomesrapped in the sinusoids of spleen.

2. Spleen macrophages digest the erythrocytes.

3. Hemoglobin is broken down into amino acids, iron and bilirubin.

4. Iron ions and amino acids are recycled to make new hemoglobin in red bone marrow. Bilirubin is sent to liver for excretion.
