Osmosis is the flow of water down its concentration gradient, across a semi-permeable membrane. ... An everyday example is the plastic wrap in your kitchen: it allows air and water vapor to travel across it, but not water or food. The membranes of cells are semi-permeable, too.

Describe how facilitated diffusion helps large molecules cross cell membranes. What kinds of proteins are involved?
Dima020 [189]

Yeah yeah so :D,

Large polar molecules can only cross the membrane with the help of protein named channel protein and carrier protein.

So, this both proteins act like a gate, the large molecules enter the protein and the protein let the large molecules in to the membrane. (see the picture so that you can understand more, its carrier protein)

the only difference between channel protein and carrier protein is, channel proteins has fixed shape while carrier protein can flip.

The output region is the site of ______________________.
tester [92]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C (voltage gated Na+ channels).

Explanation:

Output region or axon terminal is the structure of neuron which transmits the signals to other nerve cells.

The signal is transferred via action potential generated by the dendrite cell which moves along the axon and reaches the synaptic junction.  

At the synaptic junction, voltage-gated channel (Na+) channels located in the membrane of the axon terminal cell opens due to the changes in the electric membrane potential which play important role in returning the depolarized cell to a resting state.

Thus, option C (voltage-gated Na+ channels) is the correct answer.
