Answer:
ABC transporter protein
Explanation:
ABC transporter protein refers to the ATP binding cassette protein which utilizes the AT energy to transport the substrates from one side to another side. The ABC proteins are one of the oldest proteins known in the organisms.
The CFTR protein which acts as a chloride channel in the membrane which transports the chloride ions across the membrane utilizes the ATP energy in the transport.
Thus, ABC transporter protein is correct
B is better because it has more surface area.
Answer:
The correct answer would be active transport by proteins.
When a molecule is transported against the concentration gradient it requires cellular energy and the process is termed as active transport.
The energy is either provided by the hydrolysis of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in primary active transport or by the electrochemical gradient in secondary active transport
Active transport takes place with the help of integral membrane proteins or transport proteins which form carriers or channels across the membrane.
Examples may include a sodium-potassium pump, uptake of glucose in small intestine et cetera.
Answer:
Lack of shelter.
Explanation:
Although I cannot see the graph of the population over time, I am assuming it was exponentially rising and then began to decline. This is because the parrotfish were able to populate only until the species ran out of shelter. Once it ran out of shelter, the exposed fish began to die due to predators or the environment.
It may also be because of the drastic decline of living coral reefs. As coral reefs die, so do livable habitats for the parrotfish. As a result, the parrotfish decrease in population as fewer corals are available for the fish to live in.
