What is a positive way to describe a passive person in a discussion?
just describe them as the spineless little turd that they are
Is active transport the only way substances can cross the intestinal membrane?
No. There is passive, diffusion.
What does osmosis and diffusion have in comin?
They are both a form of passive transport. By the way it is spelt "common"
Define and examples of diffusion and indicate why it is also called passive transport?
its the way the body is
Type of transport that requires energy?
Passive Transport
Which is the best way way to describe the role of roots and stems in a plant?
roots and stems transport water and minerals to the leaves so that photosynthesis can occur
What are the passive transport?
Passive transport processes do not require ATP or energy for transport. Co-transport processes would also not be considered a passive process. -The xylem in plants uses capillary action, a passive process -If a specific channel exists for, let's say, an ion or molecule, then that channel uses passive transport, however, it the channel cannot be "gated" in any way as in voltage-gated Na+ channels or delayed rectifier K+ channels. You can also look at the ascending loop of Henle in the juxtamedullary nephron of the kidney and see passive transport of water molecules -The blood brain barrier also allows passive transport of certain molecules A good way to think of passive transport is whether or not the plasma membrane has "holes" big enough in it to allow for molecules to pass through, provided there are no charge hindrances for that molecule passing through. Or a specific channel is open and letting a molecule in without the expense of ATP (using ATP to make the membrane channel protein does not fall under this category)
Explain the difference between passive transport and active transport Give several types of each and explain how they work?
when molecule travels from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a concentration gradient.It is known as passive transport. Active transport refers to when molecule travels from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration against the concentration gradiet. Transport of protein is an active transport. Fit it in the sentence your way
What is an example of passive transport across a cell membrane?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport. It is specialized diffusion. It can occur through the membrane itself. Or through an aquaporin channel protein. Other forms of passive transport include: simple diffusion and facilitated (uses channel protein) diffusion.
