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

Biology

7nadin3 [17]3 years ago
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.

Explain why the shape of animals is basically spherical whereas plants and fungi are filamentous
Reika [66]
Plants and fungi are usually filamentous to increase the surface area in which they uptake their food, and this is advantageous as they raise their surface area for sunlight in photosynthesis.
Conversely, animals are usually round to reduce surface area for loss of water and heat. Unlike plant and fungi, most of their food intake is through the mouth hence not affected by surface area.

How successful has it been in reducing the harmful chemicals from the burning of fossil fuels that cause acid rain?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Not very successful considering the fact that there is still acid rain even with more advances in technology such as the development of hydroelectric power plants and other renewable forms of energy so as to reduce the continuous burning of fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Acid rain is produced when sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide forms are released into the atmosphere where they get to meet with water and other chemicals. Since water contains hydrogen and oxygen, it reacts with sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form to produce weak acids which come down to the earth as it rains. Fossil fuel combustion is a man-made practice of releasing sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form into the atmosphere which eventually results in acid rain.
