OSHA considers methylene chloride to be a potential occupational carcinogen. Short-term exposures to high concentrations may cause mental confusion, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Continued exposure may also cause eye and respiratory tract irritation. Exposure to methylene chloride may make symptoms of angina more severe. Skin exposure to liquid methylene chloride may cause irritation or chemical burns. Allegra-D 24 Hour 180 mg / 240 mg (Sanofi-Aventis)
2 3 5 Distinguish Between Active And Passive Transport And R. Movement of materials into and out of cells takes place either passively or actively. Passive movement includes diffusion and osmosis, passive movement requires no energy input from the cell â since the molecules follow a concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy as the molecules are forced against the concentration gradient.
Active and passive transport processes are two ways molecules and other materials move in and out of cells and cross intracellular membranes. Active transport is the movement of molecules or ions against a concentration gradient (from an area of lower to higher concentration), which does not ordinarily occur, so enzymes and energy are required. Passive transport is the movement of molecules or ions from an area of higher to lower concentration. There are multiple forms of passive transport: simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration, and osmosis. Passive transport occurs because of the entropy of the system, so additional energy isn't required for it to occur. Compare. Both active and passive transport move materials and can cross biological membranes. Contrast
