Why are concentration gradients important to cells

Biology
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
5 0


A concentration gradient is the process of particles or solutes moving through a solution from areas of  greater particle concentration to areas of low particle concentration.

The importance of a concentration gradient is that it is what makes osmosis and diffusion to happen. If there were no gradient, there would be no movement of anything from high to low concentrations.  Because  cells are either hypertonic or hypotonic, nutrients and materials are able to flow either in or out of the cell and life is sustained. If all cells were isotonic, then there would be no flow of nutrients and materials and cells would not survive.

Please help to solve this question.​
erica [24]

Answer:

a. Glycolysis

b. actually, both plants and animals use glycolysis. They use these during cellular respiration and plant respiration

c. Heart tissue!

Explanation:

a.  Glycolysis produces 2 ATP per glucose molecule, and thus provides a direct means of producing energy in the absence of oxygen. Lactic acid, the end product of anaerobic glycolysis.

b. In organisms that perform cellular respiration, glycolysis is the first stage of this process. In plants, this metabolic process occurs in the cytosol and plastids of both photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic organs.

c. Pyruvate is an important chemical compound in biochemistry. It is the output of the metabolism of glucose known as glycolysis. In highly oxidative tissue, such as the heart, the production of pyruvate is essential for acetyl-CoA synthesis and L-malate synthesis.

During a knee flexion exercise, when you begin to fatigue what movement will you attempt to perform? Why?
nignag [31]

Knee flexion exercise is an exercise that involves bending the leg at the knee joint, thereby reducing the gap between the lower leg and upper leg.

The benefit of this exercise includes:

  • Helps to strengthens the muscles in the back of the thigh.
  • Helps to strengthens the muscles at the hamstrings.

The voluntary action that i may perform after experiencing fatigue from the exercise is to Stand Upright.

The action will helps my lower leg and upper leg to regain normal posture, thereby reducing the muscle tension around my knee.
