What cells structures is associated with the breakdown of harmful substances or substances that are no longer needed by the cell?
Mitochondria
What Enzymes oxidize cell substances?
mitochondria
What is the net movement of substances to regions of lower concentration called?
This process is called diffusion. If the substance moving is water, it is called osmosis.
Substances found in the mitochondria that cause complex chemical reactions to occur?
Enzymes!
What is net movement of substances across plasma membrane without additional energy?
Diffusion. With the need of energy, it would be called active transport.
What cells structures is associated with the breakdown of harmful substances or substances that are no longer needed by the cell?
Mitochondria
Cell structures is not associated with the breakdown of harmful substances or substances that are no longer needed by the cell?
Mitochondria Lysomes, vacuoles, and peroxisomes play a role in the breakdown of substances that are no longer needed by the cell while the mitochondria does not. Mitochondria is used for the production of ATP.
What Enzymes oxidize cell substances?
mitochondria
How long does movement occur across a concentration gradient?
As long as there is a concentration gradient. This is because diffusion occurs which is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
What is the net movement of substances to regions of lower concentration called?
This process is called diffusion. If the substance moving is water, it is called osmosis.
What Aids the movement of substances into and out of the cell.?
protein channels aid the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
Does some diffusion require energy?
No. Diffusion is a natural occurrence of the net movement of substances from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration (down the concentration gradient).
What is diffusion simple?
Simple diffusion is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration so its overall net movement is along the concentration gradient. Simple diffusion does not require energy therefore it is 'passive', substances are diffused across the membrane between the phospholipids.
What part of the cell breaks down substances to produce energy for the cell?
Mitochondria
What substances releases mitochondria?
They release mainly CO2.It is a waste material of respiration.
Substances found in the mitochondria that cause complex chemical reactions to occur?
Enzymes!
Does mitochondria have a tails?
No, mitochondria are organelles in a cell. Tails, or specifically flagella, are used for movement, and since mitochondria do not need to move from one place to another, they do not have tails.
