Passive transport moves across a concentration gradient, or a gradual difference in solute concentration between two areas. Simple diffusion is the diffusion of small, uncharged, or hydrophobic molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across the cell membrane.

Receipt of extracellular signals can change cell behavior quickly (e.g., in seconds or less) or much more slowly (e.g., in hours
balandron [24]

Answer:

A. Molecular changes such as extracellular signals on extracellular ligands can result in quick changes in cell behaviour. One example is insulin. Upon insulin binding on the receptor on the cell membrane, the cell release GLUT4 transporters (for muscle cells) to increase uptake of glucose.

B. Slow changes in cell behaviour can be observed for other lipophilic hormones or intracellular receptors such as glucocoortoid or estrogen which reacts with receptors in the cells.

C. Insulin is required to maintain a constant blood glucose level and hence levels of insulin has to be mediated in correspondence to the blood glucose levels. Fast acting signalling is thus required for homeostasis of blood glucose levels. Where for such lipophilic hormones such as steriods, glucocortoid, these hormones tend to have a longer lasting effect and hence results in a slow change.

Why does Tupperware blow its top in the microwave?
sergeinik [125]
The heat inside the Tupperware causes an increase in pressure and when enough pressure builds, the atoms need somewhere to go and the seal at the top is easiest to break, so the top blows off.<span />
