When transporting donated platelet units, what is the maximum amount of time that agitation of platelets can be stopped for
SIZIF [17.4K]

24 hours is the maximum amount of time that agitation of platelets can be stopped.

<h3>What are platelets?</h3>

Platelets are pieces of very large cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes. They aid in the formation of blood clots that help wounds heal and to slow or stop bleeding. It can be problematic to have platelets that are too many, too few, or aren't functioning properly.

Platelets' main job is to stop and prevent bleeding. The body sends signals to platelets that direct them to the affected location when a blood artery is damaged. Adults typically have between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood, which is considered normal. Less than 150,000 platelets per microliter indicate a low platelet count. People with thrombocytopenia have low platelet levels. We can bleed heavily and bruise easily if our platelet counts are low.

How do facilitated diffusion and active transport differ? Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
castortr0y [4]
Note that Facilitated diffusion , Active transport and Osmosis are three different ways of transporting substances across the cell surface membrane.

Facilitated diffusion is the movement of a substance from high to low concentration , similar to simple diffusion , but due to the complexity of the cell surface membrane , polar molecules and ions cannot just pass like that , so they pass through specific carrier and channel proteins in the cell surface membrane and so we call it facilitated diffusion.

For Active transport , it's the movement from low to high concentraion using energy from ATP

For Osmosis , it's totally different . You only name osmosis when its all about water . Its the net movement of water from high water potential to low water potential through partially permeable membrane .
If you're doing AS , you'll be familiar with Endosmosis and Exosmosis.
