Explain why facilitated diffusion may need to occur and in what direction the particles diffuse in. Identify the molecules that

help in this process.

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.

The correct answer would be: dependence on nonrenewable resources.

A nonrenewable resources are resources that cannot be readily replaced by natural means, such as fossil fuels (oil, natural gas). The use of these resources is not sustainable because their formation takes billions of years.  The whole world is dependent on these non-renewable sources but they are becoming more scarce daily.

Why does the reduction of the dye DCPIP work best using the chloroplasts whose outer envelopes have been damaged during preparat
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

NADP is the cofactors in photosynthesis which loses electrons,becomes reduced(NADPH) in photosynthesis. It transfer  electrons  in reduced form(NADPH) into the stroma of the chloroplast. The H is splits into e- and H+

These electrons for the ETC chains, generates the PMF for pumping H+ as protrons into the thylakoid  intramembranes.

Outer membrane covers  the intramembrane space, between these two membranes layers. The protons in the intramembrane space generate the electrochemical gradient for the supply of  the energy used by ATPase synthase for ATP synthesis from phosphorylation with ADP.

The chloroplast is made up of both the outer and inner membrane,separated by the intramembrane space. The walls of the intramembrane space is guided by the outer envelope. 

Therefore with the outer envelope removed, the intramembrane is exposed,more protons(H+) are released, but can not be held in the outer envelope to form electrochemical gradients,beacause the intramembrane space is now permable.

Thus   the rate of reduction of DCPIP is faster.The  color changes to colorless increases when reduced , from blue color.

DiKsa [7]

The energy that can be renewed again and again is known as renewable source of energy. Example : water, sunlight, wind et cetera.

The energy cannot be created again,once destroyed is known as non renewable source of energy.

The energy obtained from coal is non-renewable.

Energy obtained from burning plant waste is renewable

Energy obtained from water spring inside the earth is renewable.

Energy obtained from natural gas is non renewable.
