Answer:
The mechanisms of transport across the cell membrane are as follow: 1- simple diffusion, 2- facilitated diffusion, 3- primary active transport and 4-secondary active transport
Explanation:
The cell membrane is a selectively permeable structure capable of transporting substances by different mechanisms. Simple diffusion is a type of passive transport (i.e. does not require energy) where non-polar molecules (e.g. O2, CO2) pass across the membrane by a process that does not require energy from the cell. Facilitated diffusion is another type of passive transport where larger polar molecules (e.g., glucose and amino acids) pass across the membrane by using specific transmembrane integral proteins. On the other hand, primary active transport is a type of active transport that uses chemical energy (e.g., ATP) to move substances such as metal ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+) across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient. Finally, secondary active transport is another type of active transport where transporter proteins are used to couple the movement of ions (e.g., H+ protons) down their electrochemical gradient to the transport of another ions/solutes against their concentration/ electrochemical gradient.
Answer:
The answer is FALSE.
Explanation:
Schizophrenia is a personality disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel and behave clearly.
Although there is a very strong genetic component to schizophrenia, genes alone do not completely explain the illness. Rather it is believed that genes do not directly cause schizophrenia, but do make a person vulnerable to developing the disease alongside other factors such as the environment and altered brain chemistry and structure.
Transport of blood under high pressure is done through the concerted efforts of the heart and arteries.
<h2>The circulatory system is the network of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries responsible for the movement of blood around the body.</h2>
Transporting blood under high pressure can be explained in the following steps:
- Contraction of the heart ventricles creates blood under high pressure
- High pressured blood is removed from the heart through the arteries. In addition, the arteries are able to contract and expand, thus are elastic
- The lumen of the arteries is narrow thus helping in maintaining high pressure
As a result of the above, the high pressure of blood is maintained and transported to the extremities of the body.
