What makes up the bulk of the cardiac muscle?

Cardiac muscle makes up the bulk of the heart. That tissue is made of cardiomyocytes or muscle cells.


How do large molecules like glucose move across the cell membrane?

By a process called active transport, or endocytosis. There is phagocytosis for particles and pinocytosis for liquids. In both cases, the cell membrane, also called the phospholipid bilayer, engulfs the particle or liquid and then brings in into the cell where lysosomes use digestive enzymes to break it down.


A cell conducts endocytosis by what?

Cells perform endocytosis through membrane movement. Endocytosis is a type of Bulk Transport, which involves the movement of larger particles (vesicles) through the membrane in and out. Endocytosis involves Phagocytosis or Pintocytosis. Phagocytosis: when cells engulf particles via pseudopodia ("false feet"), which is packaged in the membrane into an enclosed sac, and once inside the cell, it becomes a vacuole. Pintocytosis: when cells GULP extracellular fluids and makes them into vesicles. The fluids are unimportant but gulped anyway for the molecules within it.


What is bulk transport in cells?

i think its when a cell cant fit all the food in through the membrane so the cell wraps itself around the food to dissolve it using centrioles


How can you demonstrate ther is space between molecules of water?

Calculate volume of molecule, calculate mass of molecule, compare to bulk density. Lower bulk density indicates empty space.


Which kind of bulk transport do white blood cells use to engulf bacteria?

phagocytosis, otherwise known as "cell eating". The cell takes it in by squeezing it through the cell membrane and creating a vesicle


What produces the bulk of the cells ATP?

Mitochondria


What bulk transport moves out of cells?

exocytosis


What is the tension in liquid and cohesive force?

Net force of a single molecule in the bulk is zero attrated equally strong to its negibors. On thr surface, the conesive force will tend to pull the molecule back to the bulk of the fluid.
