Answer:
The correct choice is ''ion electrochemical gradients''.
Diffusion of ions across membranes through specific ion channels is driven by <u>ion electrochemical gradients</u>.
Explanation:
An electrochemical gradient can be considered as that electrical (electrostatic pressure) and chemical (diffusion) force that determine the movement of molecules and ions across the membrane. This electrochemical gradient, in addition to causing movement of substances through cell membranes, is also a type of potential energy available for the performance of different cellular activities, potential energy called membrane potential.
A phenotype is the physical appearance of a characteristic.
A genotype is the code for that characteristic.
The medication would be the controlled variable, the factor that remains constant.
Answer:
Increasing the size of the cube-shaped cell increases the volume. However, the surface area-to-volume ratio decreases. This means that the simple diffusion would take more time distribute nutrients across the cell (and even in the eliminate waste). It would need bulk transport such as vesicle transport, otherwise cell activities would slow down.
