Facilitated diffusion. It is a passive transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell’s energy supplies. Instead, the energy is provide by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell. The carrier proteins bind to glucose, which causes them to change shape and translocate the glucose from one side of the membrane to the other. Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.
They made the cell theory, concluding that all living things are made of cells.
Answer: A, the sun creates it's own light.
Explanation: <em>The moon can't create it's own light, so the sun shines on the moon and it </em><em>reflects</em><em>, or "bounces" off. The sun is able to produce it's light by </em><em>fusion,</em><em> which also creates heat. </em>

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
d. Na+
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- The cell membrane's main trait is its selective permeability, which means that it allows some substances to cross it easily, but not others.
- <em><u>Small molecules that are non-polar (have no charge) can cross the membrane easily through diffusion, but ions (charged molecules) and larger molecules typically cannot.</u></em>
- Charged ions such as N+ and K+ Cannot permeate the cell membrane for the since uncharged molecules repel uncharged molecules present in the membrane structure.
