Oxygen crosses the plasma membrane by?
Simple diffusion process, i.e. from high pressure to low pressure
What large molecules are unable to cross the plasma membrane?
A process in which some substance are too large to pass through the membrane is endocytosis
Advantages of membrane cell - chloralkali process?
advantage of membrane cell
What are the 3 types of cellular transport that the plasma membrane controls?
There are many different processes that are controlled by the plasma membrane aka as the cell membrane.Selective Permeable -- this means that only certain things will be allowed to enter or to leave the cell membrane.Active transport -- this process is where ATP is required. An example of this type of transport is when there is particles that are too large to passively go through the membrane will need to be carried by glucose, and through protein carriers.Passive transport -- this is where no actual ATP is required, it flows quite freely through the membrane. One example of this type is diffusion.
What is the process of water diffusing across a what membrane?
Water diffusses across a semipermeable membrane
The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?
facilitated diffusion
Why is the efferent arteriol smaller than afferent arteriole?
Efferent arteriole is narrower so as to create hydrostatic pressure for the process of ultrafilteration.
What process does not require energy to move a substance across a membrane?
Osmosis because it is the equalization of pressure.
Oxygen crosses the plasma membrane by?
Simple diffusion process, i.e. from high pressure to low pressure
What process moves water out of a cell?
Osmosis. It's a type of facilitated diffusion in cells because a water molecule is too large to passively diffuse across a plasma membrane. You need to set it on fire first.
What is responsible for gaining ECF from blood at the arteriole end and venule end?
Hydrostatic pressure is the force the gains the ECF from blood at the ends of the arteriole and venule. This process depends heavily on gravity for it to work properly.
By which process can we get soap from soap water?
One approach would be some kind of membrane process like ultra- or nanofiltration. The questions to answer first are: * How much water do you want to process? * Do you want the soap or the water? * What costs are acceptable? Membrane processes are physical pocesses, and they require substantial pressure to work.

Can we use osmosis for desalinating water?
The process for desalinization is reverse osmosis. The salty fluid is put on the pressurized side of the semi-permeable membrane and the salt free water oozes to the low pressure side. The pressure overcomes the "osmotic pressure" noted in regular osmosis.
The process by which H2O diffuses across a membrane?
This process is called osmosis.
