PLEASE HELP! DUE SOON!!!

Biology
1 answer:
lbvjy [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Channel and carrier proteins are both considered facilitated diffusion. We also know that materials do not like to go against the concentration gradient so we can eliminate B.

1) There is a larger number of hydrophilic molecules on the outside of a cell than on the inside. Identify the conditions that c
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<h2>C. placing carrier proteins in the membrane.</h2>

Explanation:

If there is no barrier preventing molecules from moving molecules, then there will be large movement of molecules  from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This passive process is known as diffusion. The phospholipid bilayer of a cell's membrane works as a barrier to large molecules, ions, and most hydrophilic molecules. Whereas small hydrophobic molecules can pass freely through the phospholipid bilayer, other molecules and ions are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Some transport proteins, allowing hydrophilic molecules and ions to passively move through them and across the cell membrane.

Examples: carrier proteins and channel proteins.

Placing carrier proteins in the cell membrane will allow the molecule to reach equal concentrations on the both the sides of the membrane and maintain that way over long time. In contrast, transport proteins known as pumps will use cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.

Placing equal numbers of intracellularly directed and extracellularly directed pumps would also equalize the concentrations of a molecule long over time. Pumps are to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, such as the sodium-potassium pump continuously moves sodium ions out of a cell.  

Through the use of carrier proteins, there is equalization of  concentrations of a hydrophilic molecule. This equalize the numbers of molecules on the inside and outside of the cell, but the pumps would continue moving the molecule inward, eventually resulting in more molecules inside of the cell than out.

Conservation biologists provide strong arguments about why we should all care about preserving biodiversity. When considering th
bezimeni [28]

Answer:Increase in ambient global temperatures.

Recyling energy to be used again

Regulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels

An increase of erosion and siltation along waterways

Explanation:

Conservational biologists think about the preservation of ecosystem by maintaining the environment in a human control way.

Increase in ambient global temperatures.: The humans must prevent the increase in global temperature worldwide by preventing the rise of greenhouse gases which can lead to global warming worldwide.

Recyling energy to be used again: The sources of energy like wood, waste water can be recycled again for reutilization.

Regulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.: The oxygen and carbon dioxide levels must be regulated. As oxygen is the basic requirement for respiration. The increase in carbon dioxide levels due to human activities is likely to cause respiratory diseases and health hazards in living beings.

An increase of erosion and siltation along waterways.: The erosion and siltation will likely to deposit nutrients and debris which may either contaminate the waterway or may cause eutrophication.

Which of the following structures consists mainly of white matter?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The corpus callosum

Explanation:

The corpus callosum is the largest white matter structure in the brain. It is located beneath the cerebral cortex and it connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres thus enabling communication between them. The corpus callosum is a bundle of nerve fibers, (axon projections) which transmits neural signals.
