Diffusion does not require any energy because it occurs down a concentration gradient. This means it goes from one side which has a high concentration of a particular molecule, to another side with a low concentration of this molecule. This is a passive act, requiring no energy input from the cell because it simply equalizes the concentrations of the molecules on both sides of a membrane. Simple ion channels are in place for diffusion, and the molecule diffuses to the less concentrated side simply and without the need for ATP being broken down for energy.
Active transport on the other hand, does exactly the opposite. Molecules to be actively transported will go from a side in which they are less concentrated to a side in which there is already a high concentration of them, so against the concentration gradient. This process requires energy- if you think of cramming more objects into an already stuffed room, more energy and force is needed to push them into that crowded space.
Active transport therefore requires energy in the form of ATP to be released for the transport to take place, and is usually mediated via special transport channels which bind the molecule and transport it to the other side, with the cost of ATP being broken down to release energy.
To visualize this: it is easier to go down a slide, than it is to climb up it. Molecules in diffusion slide down the slide to the other side, but have to be actively transported up the slide by a helper (transport channel), with energy.
Blood stasis, changes in the vessel wall, and certain medications affect the ability of the blood to effectively clot.
Explanation:
Clotting is also known as blood coagulation. It is the process by which blood forms a clump which is either gelatinous or semisolid in state.
Clotting is very necessary because it prevents unnecessary loss of blood in case of cuts and injuries.
However the tendency of blood to form random clots is also very harmful because it might lead to blockage in the blood vessels.
Effective blood clotting can result from:
- Blood stasis, a condition in which the flow of blood in the vessels is hindered,
- Changes in vessel walls.
- Certain medication that prevents blood clotting or decreases blood density.
3(2-7)=3 then 3(-5)=3 then divide by 3, -5=1, -5 doesnt = 1 but that’s how you’d solve
