Answer:
a life event happens when some benefits are lost to gain other benefits
The mudflows are very dangerous and they have a great destructive power. They appear after a heavy rainfall on places that are steep. The mudflows are very fast and sudden occurrences, so usually people are caught unprepared. A mudflow is a mixture of water and lot of ground/mud, and all sorts of debris, which also contributes to it to be more dangerous.
Groundwater is the largest available source of freshwater, followed by lakes, rivers, reservoirs and wetlands. Groundwater refers to all subsurface water.
Prophase is the first stage in mitosis, occurring after the conclusion of the G2 portion of interphase. During prophase, the parent cell chromosomes which were duplicated during S phase condense and become thousands of times more compact than they were during interphase.
Answer:
The voltage-gated potassium channels associated with an action potential provide an example of what type of membrane transport?
A. Simple diffusion.
B.<u> Facilitated diffusion.
</u>
C. Coupled transport.
D. Active transport.
You are studying the entry of a small molecule into red blood cells. You determine the rate of movement across the membrane under a variety of conditions and make the following observations:
i. The molecules can move across the membrane in either direction.
ii. The molecules always move down their concentration gradient.
iii. No energy source is required for the molecules to move across the membrane.
iv. As the difference in concentration across the membrane increases, the rate of transport reaches a maximum.
The mechanism used to get this molecule across the membrane is most likely:
A. simple diffusion.
<u>B. facilitated diffusion.
</u>
C. active transport.
D. There is not enough information to determine a mechanism.
Carrier proteins - exist in two conformations, altered by high affinity binding of the transported molecule. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLE: GluT1 erythrocyte glucose transporter.
Channel proteins - primarily for ion transport. Form an aqueous pore through the lipid bilayer. May be gated. Moves material in either direction, down concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion). EXAMPLES: Voltage-gated sodium channel, erytrhocyte bicarbonate exchange protein.
This might be helpful... because I don't know anything about facilitated diffusion.
