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]2 years ago

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.

Answer:

b) Tendon

Explanation:

Tendons are fibrous, thick, stiff and flexible structures, with a whitish color, present in different parts of the human body.

They are part of the striated muscle being made up of connective tissue (composed of collagen).

The main function of the tendons is to connect the muscles to the bones. In this way, it helps in the balance of the body and in the development of movements, distributing the forces in the muscles.

As it pulls the connecting bone with the muscle, the tendon creates the movement in order to transmit the force of the contraction to the bone.

In addition, the tendon provides stability to the joints (meeting point between two bones) of the body's joints.

How are homeostasis and cellular respiration mutually dependent on one another?
Arturiano [62]

Cellular respiration describes the process of oxygen and glucose and converting into water and carbon dioxide. Homeostasis is a term which refers to biological processes in which living things must maintain stable and equal conditions for survival. Cellular respiration which uses oxygen and glucose must be able to sustain life by releasing energy which is called ATP, the ATP which is produced enables many biological processes that keeps organisms alive. Cells need energy to grow, move, and function. The process of homeostasis enables cellular respiration to produce enough molecules which can sustain the development of the cell. Without homeostasis cellular respiration would cease to function and without cellular respiration the process of homeostasis would not occur. Homeostasis regulates how much molecules have to be expended in order to produce energy for the process of cellular respiration.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Since the origin of humans on this planet, they have been trying their best to make their lives easier on this planet. In doing so, human activities have some how heavily damaged the Earth. Many day to day activities of humans are dangerous for the Earth.

Some of the consequences of human activities on the Earth's fresh water are :

Extinction of many aquatic species:

The water consumed by humans comes from the fresh water oceans. As the population of humans is increasing enormously, the water from the oceans is being consumed at dangerous levels. This has caused many species of aquatic animals to become extinct or to be at a verge of extinction as they do  not have a habitat to survive or reproduce.

Pollution:

Many heavy industries, house sewage, farmers dispose waste into the fresh water. Hence, killing aquatic animals and polluting the fresh water ecosystems.
