How do oxygen and carbon dioxide cross capillary walls?

Biology
1 answer:

4 0
The answer is diffusion.

The most important mechanism that enables oxygen and carbon dioxide (but as well other small molecules such as glucose, amino acids, wastes) across capillary walls is diffusion. Diffusion is a net movement of molecules through some barrier from an area of high concentration to the area of low concentration. When blood rich in oxygen reaches capillaries close to the cell, now there <span>is </span>more oxygen in the capillaries than in the cells and by diffusion, oxygen will pass capillary walls and enter the cell. Since blood in capillaries lacks in carbon dioxide, it will easily leave the cells and enter the blood. It should be taken into consideration that capillary walls may be fenestrated, continuous, and discontinuous which can affect movement through them.

If a plant looks purple, which light color is causing the plant to photosynthesize?
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Purple

Explanation:

To perform photosynthesis, violet light is the most important color, and it's from these wavelengths that plants get most of their energy. The reason for this is because out of the visible spectrum, red light is the longest wavelength light that the photosynthesis process can use, but it has the least energy

What steps are involved in creating a hydroelectric power plant
olga_2 [115]
In order to create a hydroelectric power plant, you need water, hence the prefix hydro-. Most times, people use dams to block the water, which in a way stores it. When you need to produce electricity, you release some of the water which flows through a turbine making it spin, which then activates a generator to produce electricity.

Arrange the order of events for the internalization of LDL particles into cells:
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The correct answer is "5-1-3-2-4".

Explanation:

Internalization of LDL particles into cells, is needed to form the intracellular vesicles known as endosomes. The order of events that allow for this process are:

5) LDL receptors migrate to the cell surface and cluster in clathrin-coated pits. Clathrin acts directing the receptors to the cell membrane region where endosomes are formed.

1) A combination of cholesterol and apolipoprotein binds to LDL receptors and becomes internalized as endocytotic vesicles. Once the receptors are in the proper cell membrane region, cholesterol and apolipoprotein are bound and internalized.

3) Several endocytotic vesicles fuse to form an endosome.

2) The environment of the endosome becomes acidic, which causes the LDL to dissociate from its receptor; additionally, the endosome fuses with a lysosome. LDL should be dissociated from its receptor since it is going to be degraded in the following step.

4) The LDL particle is degraded by the lysosome. This takes place after endocytosis, when LDL particles are transported into lysosomes once they are fused, cleaving the cholesterol esters into cholesterol and fatty acids.
