Water passes from the tissue fluids into the blood capillaries mainly because?
lymph blood has a higher protein concentration than the tissue fluids
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is?
It diffuses because the concentration of oxygen in the capillaries is lower than the concentration of oxygen in the air (law of diffusion).
What makes oxygen pass into the capillaries that surround these sacs?
Diffusion. O2 moves from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration.
Is gluten higher in level in protein flour?
Yes, gluten concentration would be higher in high protein flower because the gluten is the main protein in flour.
How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during omosis?
With a specific channel protein called aquaporins.
Why does oxygen diffuse in and carbon dioxide diffuse out?
In the alveoli, oxygen diffuses into the blood that the capillaries carry due to a concentration gradient that exists there as oxygen conc is higher in the alveolar sacs than in the blood capillaries. Similarly carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood capillaries into the alveolar sacs down the concentration gradient. The constant flow of blood is there to ensure this concentration gradient is established at all times.
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 does the facilitated difussion depend on?
facilitated diffusion occurs from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration and requires a carrier protein to take place
In materials move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a cell membrane.?
Through the process of mitosis.
What process moves materials through a cell from areas of low concentration to areas of higher concentration?
diffusion
What is the pathway of movement for substances traveling across a capillary wall?
Capillaries have very thin walls which are semi-permeable.
What does osmosis do?
The random movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
