What passes through a cell using passive transport?

Biology
1 answer:
Tanzania [10]3 years ago
7 0
Passive transport is a movement ofbiochemicals and other atomic or molecularsubstances across cell membranes without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. The rate of passive transport depends on thepermeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids andproteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.

stealth61 [152]

Vacuoles are large compartments within the eukaryotic cells that capture and store food or toxic materials, maintain turgor pressure, and dispose of cellular waste. Both the plant and animal cells have vacuoles. The size of vacuoles in a plant cell is larger in comparison to animal cells. Vacuoles in plant cells store the produced food and waste in the form of resins. The vacuoles also contain water and give structural support to cell to make them turgid.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

species.

Explanation:

Taxonomy can be defined as the process of naming, classification and description of living organisms such as plants and animals. Thus, it is the biological classification of living organisms based on similarities or characteristics such as eyes, number of legs, etc.,

The eight (8) biological classification (taxonomy) used for grouping and organizing organisms are; kingdom, domain, phylum, family, order, class, genus and species.

In taxonomy, species refers to the basic unit of naming that includes members such as mammals and reptiles with the ability to reproduce with each other to birth new offsprings and exchange genetic informations. Some examples of species include Homosapiens, Vulpes, Elephas maximus, Pinus banksiana, Alces laces, Ursus americans, Canis lupus, etc.

In conclusion, taxonomy helps scientist to have good understanding and knowledge when studying various organisms.
