What happens during the process of facilitated diffusion?

Biology
1 answer:
borishaifa [10]3 years ago
4 0

This is where diffusion happens down the concentration gradient i.e. from high to low concentrations (just like simple diffusion) but facilitated diffusion requires a special and specific protein within the cell membrane. The substate binds to the receptor and the receptor itself changes conformation so that the substrate is now on the other side of the membrane. This is done for molecules that are too large to pass straight through the phospholipid bilayer (cell membrane) by simple diffusion e.g. glucose.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

As we all know, energy can never be created . Also it can never be destroyed. However, it can only be changed from one form to the other. In this case, when a pool ball is striked by a stick, the kinetic energy of stick is transferred to the ball along with release of sound. Sound is just another form of energy.  

Now, when this ball strikes other balls, the same process is repeated i.e the ball strikes another ball and passes on its kinetic energy along with release of sound energy. Every time sound is released, the amount of kinetic energy transferring from one body to other reduces.  

Option A is correct

Before inserting a gastric or enteric tube, the nurse determines the length of tubing that will be needed to reach the stomach o
baherus [9]
The distance measured from the tip of the nose to the earlobe and from the earlobe to the xiphoid process

Inserting NGT can gain access to the stomach and its content. Draining of stomach content is possible, decompression or obtain a specimen of the gastric content is possible. This can allow gastric immobility and gastric obstruction to be identified. This is usually contraindicted to patients with facial trauma due to possibility of inserting the tube intracranially. Complications that can be expected are aspiration, trauma.

Describe an example of the first law of thermodynamics
kotegsom [21]

Answer:  According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy can be transferred from place to place or changed between different forms, but it cannot be created or destroyed. For instance, light bulbs transform electrical energy into light energy, and gas stoves transform chemical energy from natural gas into heat energy.
