What else can I help you with?
What is the role of transport proteins within the plasma membrane?
The membranes around cells and even around some organelles do not allow much to go in and out. If the substance is too large, it can't move in without help. If the charge is 'incorrect', it needs help as well.
In what direction do you cut when using a sharp instrument?
Cut away from you body.
In which direction should you apply a force if you want to do the greatest amount of work?
It depends on the kind of work you want done and whether you're using any simple machines. In case you aren't using any simple machines and you are applying force directly, it is best to apply force in the direction of motion desired.
Is pumping air into a tire diffusion osmosis or active transport?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Pumping air into a tire is actually neither diffusion osmosis nor active transport. It's more like good old-fashioned physical work - you're simply using a pump to increase the pressure inside the tire. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents!
How do you calculate weight on an incline?
An incline does not have a weight associated with it.
What is a passive transport using carrier protiens?
Facilitated diffusion
Cell must expend energy to transport substances using?
Facilitated diffusion.
What cell must expend energy to transport substances using?
Facilitated diffusion
What moves materials in a cell membrane without using energy?
Passive transport processes like diffusion and facilitated diffusion move materials across the cell membrane without requiring energy. Diffusion occurs when molecules move from areas of high concentration to low concentration, while facilitated diffusion involves the help of protein channels to facilitate the movement of specific molecules.
How do facilitated diffusion and active transport compare and contrast in terms of their mechanisms of transport across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are both ways that substances move across the cell membrane, but they differ in their mechanisms. Facilitated diffusion uses protein channels to help substances passively move from areas of high concentration to low concentration, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient using protein pumps.
What are 2 ways that substances across the cell membrane without using energy?
simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis (water)
In facilitated diffusion do molecules move down concentration gradient?
Without using the cell's energy
In what type of passive transport do protein channels assist molecules across the membrane?
In facilitated diffusion, protein channels assist molecules in crossing the cell membrane. This type of passive transport allows substances, such as ions and polar molecules, to move down their concentration gradient without using energy. The protein channels provide a pathway through the lipid bilayer, enabling the selective transport of specific molecules.
Substances that move across a cell membrane without using energy?
Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy. This process includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. These mechanisms rely on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules.
What moves products through a cell membrane?
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport. Diffusion moves non-polar molecules across the cell membrane down a concentration gradient. Osmosis moves water across the cell membrane through a channel formed by aquaporins called a protein channel, down the water potential gradient. Active moves the non-polar molecules against the concentration gradient, in contrast to diffusion. Lastly, facilitated diffusion moves polar molecules across the cell membrane through creating protein channels in the cell membrane from specific proteins. ETC, glucose transporters bind to form a protein channel for glucose to diffuse through, after which the proteins disperse. That should be all, hope it was of help!
How is the cell membrane facilitated diffusion transported?
In Facilitated diffusion materials are transported across the plasma membrane without using up any energy. Plasma membranes is made up of phospholipid bilayers consisting of proteins which help in the transportation of larger materials.
What does facilitated diffusion do in a cell?
It allows for the flow of substances which are normally too large to pass through the cell membrane. Like active transport, it accomplishes this using channel proteins coded for each specific substance (sugar, for example). Unlike active transport, facilitated diffusion only works WITH the osmotic pressure gradient, not against.
