Water molecules diffuse through the cell membrane through aquaporins. How are these proteins helpful in osmosis?

Biology
1 answer:
romanna [79]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Aquaporins acts as water channels that conduct water to and fro cell membrane during osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is a type of cellular transport in which water moves from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane. The osmotic process occurs with the aid of selective protein channels called AQUAPORINS. They allow only the passage of water and prevent that of ions and solutes.

Aquaporins help in the osmotic process by creating a channel for the passage of water molecules across the membrane. In other words, aquaporins facilitate the speedy movement of water molecules across membranes via osmosis, which is normally slow due to the POLARITY OF WATER MOLECULES.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration, look at the picture
Anika [276]

Mike discovered that the  product of cellular respiration are the raw materials  of Photosynthesis while the products of photosynthesis  served as the raw materials for cellular respiration.

He also discovered that respiration is a catabolic process while photosynthesis is an anabolic process.

Another interesting fact seen by Mike is, the respiration releases energy while photosynthesis takes in energy.

Explanation:

  • In the equation of cellular respiration , we can see that glucose and oxygen are utilized in the mitochondrion to produce  carbon dioxide , water and chemical energy in the form of ATP.
  • Glucose breaks down during cellular respiration .
  • Again if we look at the chemical equation for photosynthesis in the chloroplast, we find that Carbon dioxide,which was produced during respiration is utilized along with water in presence of light energy to give out oxygen and Sugar (glucose)
