Concept map: how do different types of molecules pass through membranes

Biology
2 answers:
zlopas [31]3 years ago

The cell membrane is semi permeable in nature, that is, it allows the passage of some substances while it disallows some substances. Small and non polar molecules pass quite easily through the cell membrane but large and polar molecules can not do this. 
The substances which can easily pass through the cell membranes make use of passive transports such as diffusion and facilitated diffusion to enter the cells while substances which can not pass through the cell membranes on their own make use of active transport. Examples of active transport are endocytosis and ectocytosis,

The cell membrane is semi-permeable and allows the molecule by several methods:

  • Simple diffusion
  • Passive transport
  • Active transport

Further Explanation:

The cell membrane has an ability to control the flux of ions, amino acids, and gases through a lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is made up of phospholipids, and these membranes have hydrophobic interior, a layer is selectively permeable and allows only small, non-polar molecules. A large and polar bit like glucose can’t cross the plasma membrane easily; they require energy and carrier protein to transport. The transport of molecules can either be active or passive transport. Passive transport refers to the movement of the ions or other molecules across the membrane without any input of the energy.  

Types of transport:

  • Passive transport
  • Active transport

Passive transport can be of 3 types:

  • Simple diffusion
  • Facilitated diffusion
  • Osmosis

The process of diffusion is the movement of a molecule or substance from a higher concentration of an area to a lower concentration area. Mostly diffusion occurs in gases and liquid. The concentration gradient is referred to as to the difference in the concentration of the substance. The process of Diffusion ceases when the concentration of molecule or substance is equal in both regions.

In passive transport, the movement of ion or small molecule according to their concentration gradient occurs from higher concentration to the lower concentration. But large polar molecule or charged molecule, for example, glucose, Na+ requires carrier protein to transport charged molecule across the membrane; they do not require ATP or energy to transport. In active transport, they require ATP as well as a carrier protein to transport molecules across the plasma membrane, an example of active transport is a sodium-potassium pump.

Mixed cranial nerves containing both motor and sensory fibers include all except which of the following?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Answer is option D.

Olfactory nerve is a sensory cranial nerve.

Explanation:

Nerves are the part of peripheral nervous system, which transmit signals from brain or spinal cord (central nervous system) to the different parts of the body and vice versa.

Based on the direction of signal transmission, they are classified into three groups;  sensory nerves (afferent nerves) pass signals from sensory receptors (pain, pressure, temperature etc) in various parts of the body to the central nervous system, motor nerves (efferent nerves) transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands all throughout the body, mixed nerves contain both sensory and motor fibers which conduct both sensory information and muscle commands throughout the body.

Based on where they are connected to the central nervous system, they are classified into two groups; spinal nerves connected to the spinal cord and cranial nerves attached to the brain.  All the 31 spinal nerves are combined sensory and motor axons.

Of the 12 cranial nerves, three are sensory nerves, four are motor nerves and five are mixed nerves. The sensory cranial nerves are olfactory (smell), optic (vision) and acoustovestibular (hearing and balance) nerves.  The motor cranial nerves are trochlear (controls the superior oblique muscle of the eyeball), abducens (controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eyeball), accessory (controls the trapezius muscle in the back and shoulders), hypoglossal (controls the muscles of the throat and helps in swallowing) nerves.  The five mixed cranial nerves are occulomotor, trigeminal, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves.

It is said that corporations have perpetual life. <br> a. True <br> b. False
Sever21 [200]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

It is a true statement that life of the corporation is perpetual.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A consolidated organization has interminable progression that is despite any adjustment in its individuals the organization will hold as a similar substance with similar benefits and resistances, domain and assets. The passing or bankruptcy of individual part doesn't in any capacity, influence its corporate presence and the organization will proceed with its reality as normal until it is ended up as per the arrangements of the Companies Act.

The unending presence of a consolidated organization is all around outlined by certifiable saying, individuals may come and individuals may go, yet the organization can continue forever.

What is the role of an indicator? Predict how the glucose test strips and iodine would react with the following foods: Grape Tom
pogonyaev
The main role of an indicator is to establish the equivalence point when two substance has reached its neutralization process. The purpose of an indicator is to determine how acidic or basic the product or solution is. Indicator solutions work by actually reacting with the components of food that they test for, creating a new substance of a different color. This is a chemical reaction.If the substance that they test for is not present in the food, there will be no reaction, and therefore no color change.  The test strips will be more likely to be dark blue or black for  Grape, Tomato, Summer squash, Orange Bell pepper as they all contain starch. Color intensity may vary depending on the level of starch found in the samples.
