D. Explanation: Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport, meaning it doesn't require cellular energy. Thus, while molecules move from higher to lower concentration, this process is aided (typically by a transmembrane protein) because the molecule may be polar, hindering its ability to pass through the hydrophobic core of the cell membrane, or it could be too large to move through the naturally occurring small pores within the membrane.

Answer:

Exocrine glands are characterized by discharging their secretions into duct systems.

Explanation:

Exocrine glands:

These glands transport their secretions through a network of ducts that ultimately connect to the body's exterior. This means there is a direct continuity between the interior surfaces of the glands and their duct system with the external surfaces of the body (like the skin).

Examples of exocrine glands include gastric glands, salivary glands, and sweat glands.

Answer:

As defined by the genetic code, the amino acids include:  

- Glycine: encoded by GGC, GGA, and GGG codons  

- Arginine: encoded by AGA and AGG codons

- Lysine: encoded by AAA and AAG codons

- Glutamic acid: represented by GAA and GAG codons

Explanation:

The likelihood of observing an amino acid comprised of Glutamic acid in the coding sequence stands at 2/9 for each codon

Rainbow [2354]

!!•••••••☆☆ Hey mate ☆☆•••••••!!

Ions are atoms or molecules that carry a charge. The plasma membrane acts like a capacitor, storing and separating electrical charges. The voltage across the membrane differs from one cell to another, with the typical interior measurement being -65 mV (millivolts) as compared to the exterior.

This indicates that positive ions may enter the cell when ion channels open; however, as stated in the question, ion movement is influenced by both voltage and concentration.

This "electrochemical potential" can be computed using the Nernst equation.
