What else can I help you with?
What are two physiological advantages of red blood cell structure?
There shape confers them a degree of flexibility as some capillaries are smaller than the diameter of a RBC. Secondly, the biconcave shape of the RBC gives it an ideal surface area to volume ratio for maximum gas exchange.
What transport protein allows ions to pass through the cell membrane?
Ion channels are transport proteins that facilitate the passage of ions across the cell membrane by creating a pore for ions to move through. These channels are selective in the ions they allow to pass and can be gated, meaning they can open and close in response to certain signals.
What allows ions to enter the neural cell?
Ions enter the neural cell through ion channels located on the cell membrane. These channels are selective to specific ions based on size and charge, allowing for the passage of ions like sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride. Ion channels open and close in response to various stimuli, such as changes in membrane potential or binding of specific molecules.
What is an example of diffusion through ion channels?
An example of diffusion through ion channels is the movement of sodium ions (Na+) through sodium channels in neurons. These ion channels are selective for sodium ions and allow them to move down their concentration gradient across the cell membrane. This process is important for generating electrical signals in neurons.
What is a tunnel like passage through a bone called?
A tunnel-like passage through a bone is called a canal or a meatus. This structure allows for the passage of nerves, blood vessels, or other structures through the bone.

What facilitates the movement of K plus into epidermal cells of the root?
passage through selective channels, aided by the membrane potential created by proton pumps.
What transport protein allows ions to pass through the cell membrane?
Ion channels are transport proteins that facilitate the passage of ions across the cell membrane by creating a pore for ions to move through. These channels are selective in the ions they allow to pass and can be gated, meaning they can open and close in response to certain signals.
When was Passage Through Time created?
Passage Through Time was created in 1995.
What controls the passage of molecules in and out of the cell?
Cell membrane controls the passage of molecules in and out of the cell through selective permeability. This allows specific molecules to pass through while preventing others from entering or exiting the cell. The cell membrane contains protein channels and pumps that regulate the movement of ions and molecules.
What allows ions to enter the neural cell?
Ions enter the neural cell through ion channels located on the cell membrane. These channels are selective to specific ions based on size and charge, allowing for the passage of ions like sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride. Ion channels open and close in response to various stimuli, such as changes in membrane potential or binding of specific molecules.
Why do you think movement of ions through ion channels is generally a slower process that diffusion?
Let's take something obvious. Where would a crowd of persons move faster? Where there is absolutely nothing to prevent their passage or where there is an open gate? The same thing applies to the movement of ions. Movement of ions through ion channels is a slower process because (with a more scientific approach!) their movement is determined by the number of these ion channels whereas for diffusion, there is absolutely nothing to prevent the passage of the molecules.
Which is the ability to move a joint through entire range of motion?
Flexibility
What is a narrow passage through land called?
A narrow passage through land is called a gorge.
The st roche was the first through what passage?
Northwest passage
What controls the passage of nutrients into the cell and wastes out of the cell?
The plasma membrane controls the passage of nutrients into the cell and wastes out of the cell through a process called selective permeability. This involves transport proteins and channels that regulate the movement of molecules based on size, charge, and concentration gradients.
What structure in the plasma membrane regulate ion passage?
Ion channels and the hydrophilic/hydrophobic/hydrophilic membrane.
