There are 2 types of transport mechanisms that involve the movement of materials across the cellular membrane:
1. Passive Transport Mechanisms which is the movement of materials that does not require energy. Instead the movement relies on the permeability of the cell. Under this are three kinds of passive transport mechanisms:
a. Simple Diffusion:
- the movement of materials from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. No external energy is necessary for the movement. The materials supply the energy themselves.
b. Facilitated Diffusion:
- This differs from simple diffusion because the movement is facilitated by proteins that make up the structure of the membrane. The proteins include channel proteins that allow ions and smaller molecules to cross the membrane. The other protein are the carrier proteins, which bind to materials like sugar molecules and move it across the membrane.
c. Osmosis:
- This is the diffusion of water across the membrane. Osmosis moves water from regions where there are more water molecules of water per volume to regions where there are less water molecules per volume.
2. Active transport on the other hand is a movement mechanism that requires energy. It uses the energy to send materials against the direction it is coming from through simple diffusion. This mechanism is used in a way to keep unwanted ions or other materials out of the cell.
Answer: False
Explanation: Glaciers are massive bodies of slowly moving ice. Glaciers form on land, and they are made up of fallen snow that gets compressed into ice over many centuries. They move slowly downward from the pull of gravity.
<h2>Mesophyll cells</h2>
Explanation:
The most distinctive characteristic of leaf mesophyll cells is that they are filled with many chloroplasts
Mesophyll cells constitute the main body of a leaf, occurring between upper and lower epidermis
Typically, the leaves of temperate-zone plants have two layers of mesophyll cells, the palisade mesophyll on the upper side and the spongy mesophyll on the lower side
The palisade mesophyll is a layer of densely packed, columnar cells which contain many chloroplasts, this layer is responsible for most of the photosynthesis of leaves
The spongy mesophyll is composed of large, often odd-shaped, photosynthetic cells separated from one another by large, intercellular spaces, these intercellular spaces apparently facilitate the exchange of photosynthetic gases
Answer:
A specific environmental factor that will cause a response to living things will be light from the sun.
Explanation:
An enhanced amount of light from Sun will cause the plants to have enhanced photosynthesis. Photosynthesis can be described as a process by which plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar (food) and oxygen.
In animals, enhanced amount of light from the sun will cause sweating and vasodilation.
The process of photosynthesis won't occur in animals and the process of sweating won't occur in plants.
Answer:
The correct answer is - phase 2.
Explanation:
Erythropoiesis or the development of the erythrocytes is the process to which the development of the erythrocyte cells from the bone marrow to the mature RBC. The development of these cells involved the three phases.
During second phase involves the differentiation of the precursors of the three different type of erythrocytes that are polychromatophilic, proerythroblasts, and orthochromatic erythroblasts. It also includes building up the color of the hemoglobin that overwhelms the color of ribosomes that is blue color.
Thus, the correct answer is - phase 2.
