The sodium-potassium pump is involved in active transport that moves 3 sodium ions from the cell for every 2 potassium ions it m

oves into the cell. Which of these best explains why energy is needed for active transport?.

Answer:

The sodium-potassium pump is an active transporter because it needs to move sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

You have to think of it as outside vs inside the cell.

Outside the cell, you have 5mM K and 150mM Na. Inside the cell, you have 100mM K and 10mM sodium. Without the transporter then the ions would go from greater concentration to lower concentration.  Energy keeps the ions going from the way they would naturally happen.

From his monohybrid crosses, Mendel developed his first law
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Im confused but if your asking for Medel's first law it would be states that for the pair of alleles an individual has of some gene (or at some genetic locus), one is a copy of a randomly chosen one in the father of the individual, and the other if a copy of a randomly chosen one in the mother, and that a randomly chosen one will be copied

4. Did the complete process of photosynthesis take place in the way you modeled it in this activity? Explain your answer.
Dafna1 [17]
Well I dont know exactly how you modeled your model in this activity (also, I notice this is a question from 2016), but I do know the two processes.

This is the process of making glucose in plants. Photosynthesis goes through two individual stages:  
Stage 1: L<span>ight dependent reaction</span> (depends on the presence of light; it can’t happen in the dark) 
Stage 2: Light independent (dark reaction) (works in the absence of light, but calling it a dark reaction might be misleading; It can just as well happen in the presence of light).

Why are viruses like the avian flu important for vet scientists to study?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Therefore, a global zoonotic disease surveillance system to reduce the emergence of zoonotic diseases in humans and to help detect other livestock diseases early could help to prevent the staggering economic losses associated with zoonotic disease outbreaks. So, yes I would say that they are very important to study.

Define fossil include two types of preserved clues in your definition
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A fossil is remain or impression of dead plants or animals which have lived thousands of years ago it can also be described as  any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood, oil, coal, and DNA remnants

Types of Fossils. Fossilization can occur in many ways. Most fossils are preserved in one of five processes preserved remains, permineralization, molds and casts, replacement, and compression.

i hope this is helpful

if it is please mark me as brainliest :)
