Answer:
<u><em>Endocytosis</em></u>
Explanation:
Facilitated diffusion just means that a channel/carrier protein facilitates the transport of the molecule. It goes along the concentration gradient.
Diffusion is simple passive transport/simple diffusion. Only small nonpolar molecules can do this.
<u><em>Endocytosis is a type of bulk transport. It is when macromolecules are brought into the cell. This is a type of active transport because it requires energy to do.</em></u>
Osmosis is specifically used for water, and water is a small, nonpolar molecule. In a phospholipid bilayer/cell membrane, aquaporins (a protein) are used to facilitate transport across the membrane. Fun fact: Reverse osmosis is used to desalinate salt water. They basically push water through a man-made membrane that will only allow water to pass through.
Overall, passive transport is along the concentration gradient, while active is against it (going along the concentration gradient means if there is more of one molecule on one side of a membrane than the other, the molecule on the higher side will go towards the lower side)
I learned this in respect to a phospholipid bilayer. If you need a further explanation on any of this lmk.
Answer:
Proteins and lipids are the major components of the cell membrane.
Explanation:
Depending on the membrane’s location and role in the body, lipids can make up anywhere from 20 to 80 percent of the membrane, with the remainder being proteins. While lipids help to give membranes their flexibility, proteins monitor and maintain the cell's chemical climate and assist in the transfer of molecules across the membrane.
Answer:
option A is correct because of it is undergoing a convertion
Answer:
Both conditions are caused by an inability of the body to produce adequate acetylcholine.
Explanation:
Botulism is a potentially fatal condition caused by the toxin of bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum</em>. Early symptoms are weakness, slurred speech, blurred vision etc. It may lead to vomiting, abdominal swelling and respiratory failure if not treated. The toxin hinders the release of neurotransmitter acetylcholine due to which motor neurons are not able to send signals to muscle cells. Muscles are not able to function properly due to which paralysis occurs.
Myasthenia gravis is also a neuromuscular condition like botulism. But unlike botulism release of acetylcholine is not hindered here. The receptors for acetylcholine are destroyed or altered by body's own immune system. Acetylcholine despite being present is not able to relay the signal which leads to muscle weakness. Symptoms are almost similar to those of botulism.
The right answer is 2HgO → 2Hg + O2
Balancing a balance equation consists of finding the right stoichiometric coefficients. These coefficients (placed in front of each molecule) balance the number of each of the different atoms involved during a chemical reaction.
In this reaction, we find on both sides the same number of atoms: two oxygen atoms and two atoms of mercury.
