The opening and closing of ligan-gated ion channels
The term is Facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion is a transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell's energy, and because it does not use the cell's energy, it is a passive transport.
The energy is provided by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell.
The carrier proteins of the GLUT family are responsible for transporting glucose. They bind to glucose , which causes them to change shape to fit in the membrane passage then they translocate the glucose molecule from one side of the membrane to the other.
Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.
A food is something that provides nutrients. Nutrients are substances that provide: energy for activity, growth, and all functions of the body such as breathing, digesting food, and keeping warm; materials for the growth and repair of the body, and for keeping the immune system healthy. (So we don’t die:))
Answer:
The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of the cell by Hooke. While looking at cork, Hooke observed box-shaped structures, which he called “cells” as they reminded him of the cells, or rooms, in monasteries. This discovery led to the development of the classical cell theory.
