What is the basic difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion across a cell membrane? hints?

Licemer1 [7]

Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.

Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.

The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:

They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).

They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.

What is the adaptive advantage of lungs?

Finger [1]

What you meant must be the adaptive advantage of the frogs' lungs. Frogs are considered as amphibians wherein the have this unique ability to reside either on land or in water. Their specialised lungs could be responsible to these which makes them capable of breathing oxygen in water and land.

What is a carpal? Where is it located in a typical flower?

insens350 [35]

A carpel on a typical flower is located on the bud tips, what I mean is that where the stamen is nearly right beside it is the carpel. A carpel is like the reproductive organism of a flower.

In beans the pod texture and growth form genes are located on different chromosomes. There are two varieties of beans in a farme

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a. Genotype in F1 - TtBb

Phenotype in F1 - tough pods, bush-type growth

b. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 5/8

c. Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 1/4

d. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 1/8

Explanation:

Since the two traits are located on different chromosomes, they will independently assort during gametes formation. T is dominant over t and B is dominant over b.

Two true-breeding varieties were crossed at the beginning of the program:

TTBB x ttbb

All F1 plants will have the genotype TtBb with tough pods and bush-type growth form.

Advancing the cross to F2:

TtBb x TtBb

Progeny

1 TTBB - tough pods, bush-type

2 TTBb - tough pods, bush-type

2 TtBB - tough pods, bush-type

4 TtBb - tough pods, bush-type

1 TTbb - tough pods, climbing-type

2 Ttbb - tough pods, climbing-type

1 ttBB - tender pods, bush-type

2 ttBb - tender pods, bush-type

1 ttbb - tender pods, climbing-type

Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 10/16 = 5/8

Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 4/16 = 1/4

Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 2/16 = 1/8
