Explanation:

Biomimetic design can be defined the technological devices that have been created by man to mimic or copy the biological processes that takes place it the human body.

Biomimetic design inspiration comes from nature.

Biomimetic is a very important tool that is very useful in the medical field, in robotics, nanotechnology e.tc.

Application of biomimetic include:

a. The design of an electric nose, which can be used to help people to lack the ability to smell.

b. The design of prosthetics such as robotic arms and legs for people who have lost the their arms and legs.

c. They are used in nanotechnology to create very tiny antibodies(nanorobotic antibodies) that can be used to fight diseases in the body.

the scientific method.

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
