What is believed to be responsible for the rapid water exchange in plant cells?
Aquaporins, which are specialized proteins in the cell membrane, are believed to be responsible for the rapid water exchange in plant cells. These proteins facilitate the movement of water molecules across the membrane, allowing for efficient water transport within the cell.
Why are gills efficient organs for gas exchange in water-dwelling organisms?
Gills have a large surface area covered by thin, moist membranes that are highly vascularized, allowing for efficient exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between water and a fish's bloodstream. The gill's structure and counter-current flow system in fish enhances the exchange of gases by maintaining a steep concentration gradient across the respiratory membrane, facilitating efficient gas exchange.
What happens at the respiratory membrane?
gas exchange
What happens if the surface area of the respiratory membrane decrease in gas exchange?
A decrease in the surface area of the respiratory membrane will result in a decrease in gas exchange.
What is the thin barrier that allows for the efficient exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood called?
The thin barrier that allows for the efficient exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood is called the respiratory membrane. It consists of the alveolar walls, capillary walls, and their basement membranes. This structure is essential for the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide during respiration.
One of the most important functions of the cell membrane is to the movement of dissolved from the liquid on one side of the membrane to the liquid on the other?
One of the most important functions of the cell membrane is to regulate the movement of dissolved substances (such as ions and nutrients) across the membrane. This selective permeability helps maintain internal cellular conditions and control the exchange of molecules with the external environment.
Large cells work better if they?
are both flat/thin and have folded membranes
What has the author Hui Li written?
Hui Li has written: 'Proton exchange membrane fuel cells' -- subject(s): Proton exchange membrane fuel cells
What type of plasma membrane transport is used for exchange?
Diffusion
What is exchange between plasma and interstitial fluid compartments that takes place across the capillary membrane?
gas exchange
What is the name of the process by which gaseous exchange occurs at the AC membrane?
The process by which gaseous exchange occurs at the alveolar-capillary membrane is called external respiration. This involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli in the lungs and the blood capillaries surrounding them.
