How does facilitated transport (facilitated diffusion) help a cell maintain homeostasis?

7 0
Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Think of it like a little kid party with two bouncy houses. Let's say that both bouncy houses have the same number of kids, but then half of the people in one bouncy house decide to go get lunch. Then one bouncy house is really full and the other almost empty! So you move to the empty bouncy house so you have more space to jump. This is diffusion. So it helps homeostasis because (back to the bouncy house example) you helped even out the two bouncy houses. Now let's say the kids come back from lunch. Now that bouncy house is too crowded so you move back to the now-emptier one. This is diffusion and you would be helping maintain homeostasis, or an equal level, in both bouncy houses.

Roman55 [17]

The polarity of water enables it to serve as a solvent for polar substances.

A polar substance is a substance that has a positive end and a negative end. Water itself is a polar substance and this polarity enables it to dissolve polar substances.

For instance, HCl dissolves in water because it is polar. The positive end of the dipole in HCl attaches to the negative end of the dipole in water and the negative end of the dipole in HCl attaches to the positive end of the dipole in water.

This dipole - dipole interaction accounts for the dissolution of HCl in water.

Also, ion - dipole interaction accounts for the dissolution of ionic substances such as NaCl in water.
