By what process are bacteria brought into a cell?
Bacteria can enter a cell through a process called phagocytosis, where the cell engulfs the bacteria using its cell membrane. Alternatively, some bacteria can invade cells by injecting proteins that manipulate the host cell machinery to gain entry.
Cells take in oxygen by simple diffusion and glucose by facilitated diffusion Therefore oxygen uptake and glucose uptake will differ from each other in all respects except what?
Oxygen uptake and glucose uptake will differ in terms of the transport mechanisms involved, as oxygen is taken in by simple diffusion while glucose requires facilitated diffusion. Other factors such as energy requirements, concentration gradients, and specific transport proteins involved may also vary between the two processes.
What type of transport is faciliated diffusion?
Neither of these require energy. Diffusion occurs naturally when a higher concentration of a substance exists on one side of a membrane than the other; molecules will enter into the area of lesser concentration until there is an equilibrium on both sides. Active transport requires the energy of the cell.
The process where a nonpolar molecule can just passively get across a membrane is called?
facilitated diffusion
What is the Epithelium type with the shortest diffusion distance?
Simple squamous epithelium has the shortest diffusion distance due to its thin structure, allowing for rapid diffusion of substances across the epithelium.
How is faciliated transport similar to simple diffusion?
Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.
What statements tells how facilitated diffusion differ from simple diffusion?
Particles move through cell membranes w/out the use of energy by cells.
By what process are bacteria brought into a cell?

Does faciliated diffusion require energy?
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy because it relies on the use of carrier proteins to transport molecules across a cell membrane down their concentration gradient. These carrier proteins facilitate the movement of specific molecules such as glucose or ions without the need for ATP or energy input.

How does the structure of the plasma membrane determines the route taken by vitamin C and vitamin D?
Vitamin C is water soluable so the only way it can be transported is by faciliated difficusion using a channel protein. Channel proteins allow polar, watersoluable substances and ions to pass across the cell membrane using faciliated diffusion. Vitamin D is lipid soluble therefore it can pass through using simple diffusion because the phospholipid bilayer lets it pass through down its concentration gradient.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
What type of transport is faciliated diffusion?
Neither of these require energy. Diffusion occurs naturally when a higher concentration of a substance exists on one side of a membrane than the other; molecules will enter into the area of lesser concentration until there is an equilibrium on both sides. Active transport requires the energy of the cell.
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
What is diffusion a natural movement of molecules from?
in the normal diffusion the substance move from the area of greater concentration to that of lower concentration. .... but i never know what do we mean be "faciliated" plz specify
In facilitated diffusion which process does not require energy?
Simple and facilitated diffusion are a part of passive transport. This refers to the movement of molecules, atoms and ions across the cell membrane. In both of these processes, molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration because equilibrium is trying to be maintained in living organisms. Simple diffusion just happens randomly and without any aides. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins in the cell membrane to guide polar molecules and ions in and out of the membrane (always to areas of lower concentration) and DOES NOT require ENERGY.Only active diffusion requires energy.
