What is it that the molecules are trying to achieve as a result of passive transport?

Biology
1 answer:
irakobra [83]3 years ago

Answer:

The molecules are trying to achieve equilibrium.

Explanation

In cells, molecules will <em><u>migrate through the phospholipid bilayer</u></em> during passive transport, a form of simple diffusion that does not use the energy currency, ATP.

This layer serves as a selectively-permeable membrane; its hydrophilic heads are drawn to water (seen looking outward), while its hydrophobic water-repellent tails face each other, allowing water molecules to diffuse <u>down the concentration gradient</u> through the membrane.

This typcally continues til the molecules gain equilibrium or balance. At equilibrium, molecules neither enter nor leave the cell through passive transport.

natulia [17]

Endotherms, such as birds and mammals, use metabolic heat to maintain a stable internal temperature, often one different from the environment. Ectotherms, like lizards and snakes, do not use metabolic heat to maintain their body temperature but take on the temperature of the environment.
