Compare the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the cell membrane. (4 marks)

Biology

Answer:

Molecules naturally disperse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration.

As oxygen-rich (and carbon dioxide-poor) blood travels by a cell the oxygen diffuses through the cell membrane to the area of lower concentration inside the cell. It can do this easily because the oxygen molecule (O2) is very small and has no charge or polarity. The oxygen is used up rapidly by mitochondria. This rapid consumption causes oxygen to constantly move into the cell from the blood.

The mitochondria creates carbon dioxide (CO2) as a waste product of cellular respiration (the process that makes energy for your body). Because the CO2 is of a higher concentration in the cell than in the blood passing by, this gas continually diffuses out of the cell. It too is small and uncharged so it can pass through cell membranes easily.

These movements require no energy (in the form of ATP) on behalf of the cell.

Which two natural resources will be most affected as people try to meet the growing demand for food
Fudgin [204]

Land and water are the two natural resources will be most affected as people try to meet the growing demand for food.

Meeting the growing demand for food will involve planting more food crops and this will requires more lands. The planted crops will also need water in order to grow very well. Thus, more land and water will be needed to produce more food.

Marysya12 [62]
The correct answer is "i<span>t receives incoming sound information and directly stimulates the auditory nerve to transmit information to the brain."

Cochlear implants function to bypass the damaged cochlea due to sensorineural hearing loss (i.e. chronic noise exposure). Cochlear implants functions just like the hair cells and capture sound and transmit it via the vestibulocochlear nerve or the cranial nerve VIII and then to the temporal lobe in the auditory cortex.
