Name the process by which food And other substances enter throgh plasma membrane
Answers
Diffusion is the process by which the substances and food enter through plasma membrane.
Diffusion is the well known process in which the substances are diffused from higher concentration to lower concentration.
The characteristics of plasma membrane are permeable so hydrophobic molecules and some polar molecules which are small usually diffuse through lipid layers but ions and molecules which are large cannot.
Energy is required to transport substance across the membrane called plasma membrane. The transport is called active if the energy is used.
Answer:
The process by which, food and various substances enter inside through the membrane is known as diffusion.
Diffusion is the process in which a substance gets transported from a region where it is present in high concentration to a place where it is present in low concentration.
It is similar to the process of osmosis in which the molecules present in a solvent move to the area with low concentration through a semi permeable membrane.
