Can you give me sentence using the word movement?

Movement makes us different than trees. movement requires a lot of energy.


What structures allow small particles to cross the cell membrane?

Small particles can cross the cell membrane through simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active transport. In simple diffusion, particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration without the need for energy. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of protein channels or carriers to aid in the movement of particles. Active transport requires energy and transport proteins to move particles against their concentration gradient.


Do the particles in a rock vibrate back and forth?

Yes, the particles in a rock do vibrate back and forth, but the movement is very small and not easily detectable without special equipment. This vibration is a result of the thermal energy present in the rock causing the particles to jiggle in place.


When matter is heated or cooled what about its changes?

When matter is heated, its particles gain energy and move faster, leading to expansion or a change in state (e.g., from solid to liquid). When matter is cooled, its particles lose energy and slow down, leading to contraction or a change in state (e.g., from liquid to solid).


What is the function of active transport in moving small molecules and ions across the membranes?

the movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.


Which form of energy is not related to the small particles that make up an object?

Nuclear energy is not related to the small particles that make up an object. It is derived from the nucleus of an atom through processes like nuclear fission or fusion.


Why is energy essential to living organisms?

Every bodily process requires energy to be performed. The energy is obtained by Cellular Respiration to create high energy bonds in ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The energy from there can be used to perform every small movement or reaction that goes on in your body. Even when you sleep you use lots of energy.


As energy moves in waves through the water the water moves?

As energy from waves moves through the water, the water itself also moves in a circular motion. This circular motion involves the transfer of energy through the water column, causing a vertical and horizontal movement of water particles in the direction of the wave propagation.


What is the function of active transport moving small molecules and ions across cell membrane?

the movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.


What form of energy associated with the motion of small particles of matter?

Please be more specific. Small respect to what? Are you talking about the motion of atoms or the motion of sub atomic particles?


What does diffsion mean?

Diffusion is the movement of particles in a space like perfume filling a room once the bottle has been opened. Effusion is the movement of particles through a small opening like natural gas leaking from a pipe.


Why is wind effective in causing in deserts?

Because wind can only carry small particles of sediment, it is effective in carrying the sand particles which may be found in deserts. Erosion is defined as the movement of material from one place to another place. As evidenced by sand dunes and sand storms, wind is an effective agent of erosion in the movement of small particles.
