Plasma even though considered to be among the 4 fundamental phases of matter has signif different properties from the other three phases (solid, liquid and gas).
Unlike the other three, plasma doesn't naturally exist on the Earth under normal surface conditions, and can only be made under artificial conditions from neutral gases.
Plasma in simple words is a collection of ionized particles. An ionized gas is plasma. It's a collection of electrons with positively charged gaseous ions.
It is associated with the interior of the sun and other stars.
One another marked difference is that unlike the common solid-liquid-gas phase transitions, phase transitions with plasma do not take only by varying pressure and temperature.
Plasma is generated by ionizing a gas using a strong electromagnetic field and/or heating the gas to fantastically high temperatures (so high that it could melt any ordinary container; for this reason magnetic fields are used to confine hot plasma). Hope this helped :)

What occurrence would contradict the big bang theory?
VARVARA [1.3K]
The big bang theory states that the universe began approximately 10-20 billion years ago in an expansion of the universe emanating from an extremely compact point. The occurrence of super massive black holes contradict the big bang theory. Super massive black holes are found at the center of galaxies and is what keeps them together. Models do not explain how these would have formed if the big bang occurred the way it was proposed.

Researchers conducted a study concerning cellular transport in animal cells affected by mitochondrial
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: Cellular transport independent of ATP like osmosis and difussion (Simple and facilitated).

Explanation: The animal affected has a mitochondrial disease that affects its capacity of ATP production, thus, the animal active transport will be afected since require ATP. On the contrary, the animal passive transport will be functional because its independent of ATP, like osmosis which is water transport in favor of concentration gradient and facilitated diffussion of small molecules.
