Answer:
Just start by writing out a chart. Like, sun supplies grass, grass helps bug, and so on :)
Answer:
Sometimes molecules cannot move through the cell membrane on their own. These molecules need special transport proteins to help them move across the membrane. Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of substances with the help of transport proteins in the plasma membrane. These special proteins are called channel proteins or carrier proteins, and they are attached to the cell membrane. In fact, they go through the cell membrane, from the inside of the cell to the outside. Facilitated diffusion is used for molecules that cannot diffuse rapidly through cell membranes on their own, even when the molecules are moving from high to low concentration areas. An example is the sugar plants and animals use for energy, called glucose. Even though facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins, it is still passive transport because the solute is moving down the concentration gradient so it does not require the use of cellular energy.
Answer:The real answer is D
Explanation:
Answer:
(a) an aquaporin
Explanation:
An aquaporin is a water channel which forms a pore in the cell membrane and facilitates the movement of water. Aquaporin is an integral membrane protein (permanently attached to the membrane) that enables the in and out flow of the water. This channel also prevents the passage of ions and other solutes, so it cannot change the voltage. There are four types of aquaporins, and they are mostly found in the kidney with the function of water reabsorption.
