<u>Smoking</u> causes respiratory disorders such as bronchitis, pneumonia and lung cancer.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Respiratory disorders such as bronchitis, pneumonia and lung cancers are caused by smoking tobacco, air pollution and by infection. Smoking is the predominant cause of this respiratory order it also raises the level of air pollution which becomes hazardous to all the living organisms.
Infection in the lungs which is identified as pus in air sacs and found as inflamed lungs is usually life threatening. Severe shortness of breathe called the bronchitis is due to airborne chemicals.
They are formed into polymers.
Answer:
An energy transformation is the change of energy from one form to another. Energy transformations occur everywhere every second of the day. There are many different forms of energy such as electrical, thermal, nuclear, mechanical, electromagnetic, sound, and chemical.
* Channel proteins- these are proteins with a hydrophilic pore where specific ions are able to pass through the membrane. Each channel protein is specific to an ion. This is the only way ions can travel through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.
* Carrier proteins- these are proteins which allow larger or polar molecules through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.
Carrier proteins essentially “carry" signals that are not soluble in aqueous solution through the blood stream to their target cells. Carrier proteins for hydrophilic signals prevent degradation of the signal. Channel proteins are embedded in cell membranes. They often are receptors (though not always), and when activated, allow specific ions to pass through the membrane.
A channel protein is a special arrangement of amino acids which embeds in the cell membrane, providing a hydrophilic passageway for water and small, polar ions. Like all transport proteins, each channel protein has a size and shape which excludes all but the most specific molecules
The carrier protein facilitate diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane. The protein is imbedded in the cell membrane and covers the entire membrane. This is important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.
