Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.
The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:
They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).
They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.
Answer:
c) A study of how disease rates vary among different population groups
Explanation:
Epidemiology is the systematic and scientific study of the distribution of the health-related issue in a specified population.
The Epidemiologists studies the disease and its cause in a population by the collection of the data which gives an insight in the distribution of the health issues in the population living from a small area like school to a country.
The epidemiological studies help the society by reducing the risk of the negative health outcomes, in spreading awareness about the health issues and in framing the health policies.
Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
Answer:
they will only become water if there are no other molecules to react with it.
(does that help)
Explanation:
Aerobic cellular respiration uses O2 to break down glucose molecules into Adenonsine Triphosphate. So yes?
Di = 2
Tri = 3
C. Since there are only 2 Phosphates, the molecule shown is ADP.
