Why is facilitated diffusion necessary?

Biology
2 answers:
lawyer [7]3 years ago
6 0
It allows polar and charged molecules, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleosides, and ions, to cross the plasma membrane. Two classes of proteins that mediate facilitated diffusion are generally distinguished: carrier proteins and channel proteins. The plasma membrane needs these molecules in order for the cells and the body to function

zaharov [31]

Answer:

C. a pre-synaptic neuron involved in egg-laying

Explanation:

Serotonin (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter, i.e., a molecule that binds to specific receptors and thus transmits signals from one pre-synaptic neuron to another target cell. In humans, serotonin is involved in many physiological functions including sleep, mood, emotions, appetite, digestion, etc. Moreover, <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em> is a model organism widely used in neuroscience research in order to understand neuromodulation at the level of individual neurons. In <em>C. elegans,</em> serotonin modifies behavior by regulating neuronal excitability and synaptic efficiency. Moreover, also in <em>C. elegans,</em> it has been shown that serotonin induces egg-laying and also provides a feedback regulatory mechanism by inhibiting the activity of the pre-synaptic neurons that release it. In consequence, in this case, it is expected that serotonin rescues the loss of function of serotonin receptors required for egg-laying by providing a regulatory feedback loop that contributes to serotonin adaptation.
