The term is Facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion is a transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell's energy, and because it does not use the cell's energy, it is a passive transport.
The energy is provided by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell.
The carrier proteins of the GLUT family are responsible for transporting glucose. They bind to glucose , which causes them to change shape to fit in the membrane passage then they translocate the glucose molecule from one side of the membrane to the other.
Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.
Nitrogen is a major component by which plants use sun energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide. (It is also a major component of amino acids)
Plant cell have cell wall and animals cell don’t have
Plant cell have plastids and animal cell don’t have
Answer:
Explanation:
The endocrine system is a complex of glands that secrete <u>hormones</u> as a chemical messenger. These hormones carry information and instructions throughout the bloodstream from one part of the body to another. These hormones control many body functions such as respiration, sensory perception, metabolisms, growth, reproduction, the mood among others.
On the other hand, the nervous system is made up of neurons that communicate with each other to extend a message (from our own body or the outside) to the brain, for analysis and further decision of what to do with that information. A group of neurons, sensory neurons, respond to several stimuli such as touch, light, and sound to let the brain know about the surrounding environment. Another group of neurons, motor neurons, work inside the body and carry signals to active muscle or glands.
