Belinda is a 10-year-old elementary school student who has come in for a physical examination. She is 55 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds. Her doctor calculates her BMI at 27.9 (98th percentile for her age). Concerned about her obesity, Belinda's doctor asks about her diet and her physical activity. Her mother reports that Belinda has become "lazy" and does not like to play outside with her friends after school. She says she is more irritable than usual and complains about helping with household chores. Her mother worries that she may be depressed, although she can think of no family issues that may be responsible for this behavior. Belinda sometimes skips breakfast or has cereal and toast in the morning; she takes chips, a juice drink, and a cheese sandwich made with white bread for lunch; and has a toaster pastry or cookies with milk for a snack after school. She doesn't particularly like meat and frequently asks for buttered pasta with cheese for dinner. Belinda says she eats vegetables "when my mom buys them." A blood test reveals a normal hemoglobin level, low serum iron, moderately elevated transferrin, and low transferrin saturation.
High energy produced during the metabolism of reactant to product. Due to the large free energy of activation, the speeds of uncatalyzed biochemical reactions are often exceedingly slow. Enzymes lower this energy of activation so that more molecules have adequate energy to carry into the transition state to speed up the rate of reaction.
facilitated diffusion
active transport
endocytosis and exocytosis
Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-
facilitated diffusion and
active transport.
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport (transport of solute from high area of concentration to lower area of concentration) that requires transport protein ( which work as transporters or channels for the transport of solute).
Active transport also requires transport proteins/ carrier proteins (which work as pump) to drive the transport of solutes against the concentration gradient. This process utilizes energy (obtained from hydrolysis of ATP) for the transport because solute move from high concentration to an area where their concentration is less.
