What 2 biological variables affect how well an enzyme functions in the body?
Temperature Concentration
How does charge affect diffusion?
A concentration gradient is a difference in concentration across a space. It affects diffusion and osmosis because both of these passive transports move down their concentration gradients, or from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
Term for the movement of substance against a concentration gradient?
active transport eduction. this is the process in which this moves across. peanut butter jelly time
What is a biological law?
biological law is law of biological mention .
What is the difference with biological and non biological wash powder?
what is the difference between biological and non biological washing powder
What 2 biological variables affect how well an enzyme functions in the body?
Temperature Concentration
Why has the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air changed?
Because the atmospheric CO2 concentration is part of the "Carbon Cycle" and biological and geological processes therefore affect it.
Why is concentration gradient important to biological systems?
It affects your learning level and it could ruin your future?
What can people do to solve the problem of biomagnification?
we can solve the concentration of biological magnification if produce less DDT

When biological magnification occurs in a community one expects chemical concentration in the tissues of lower trophic levels such as grasses to be what the chemical concentration?
For plato- C. Lower Than -Justina
What is diffusion across a biological membrane?
It is when molecules in a cell naturally move from a high-density area in the cell to one of lower density.
What causes fluids to move or flow?
This is a multi-faceted question. In biological terms, fluids flow across selectively permeable membranes due to concentration gradients. The fluid will flow to the side witht he greater solute concentration (or osmolarity).
Is diffusion a active transport?
No.diffusion and active transports are two different biological processes.diffusion us the movement of particles from one place of high concentration to a place of lower concentration while active transport is the movement of particles acrooss cell membranes against a concentration gradient and this normally requires the expenditure of energy.
When decomposersare unable to break down industrial wastes they become more concentrated as they move through the food chain this process is called biological?
D. Concentration
What is the speed of a chemical reaction is increased by?
Most effectively increased speed by temperature increase and adding a catalyst ( = enzymes in biological reactions. Further measures: raising concentration of reactants, grinding solids, mixing, for some reactions: put in light scource
Why does ethanol slow the process of fermentation?
Ethanol interferes with the yeast's biological processes. This increases as the alcohol concentration increases until at some point fermentation stops all together.
