Braxton Hicks contractions.

Braxton Hicks contractions are a tightening in your abdomen that comes and goes. They are contractions of your uterus in preparation for giving birth. They tone the muscles in your uterus and may also help prepare the cervix for birth.

Braxton Hicks contractions feel like muscles tightening across your belly, and if you put your hands on your belly when the contractions happen, you can probably feel your uterus becoming hard.

The contractions come irregularly and usually last for about 30 seconds. While they can be uncomfortable, they usually aren’t painful.

If the pain or discomfort of your contractions eases off, they’re probably Braxton Hicks contractions.

Potassium uniport is an example of secondary active transport system because it uses ______ of the proton motive force.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The correct word to be fill in the blank is 'energy.'

Explanation:

Secondary active transport is a type of active transport, which involves transport of molecules or ions across the membrane against their concentration gradient by using energy.

In secondary active transport, energy is provided by electrochemical gradient. It involves transport of two molecules or ions (either in same or opposite direction) and required energy is generated due to difference in electrochemical gradient formed by pumping or ions across the cells.

An example of secondary transport is transport of potassium ions by K+/H+ exchanger that transports hydrogen ions and potassium ions in opposite direction. It uses energy from proton motive force (generated by transport of hydrogen ions or protons) to transport potassium ions.

Thus, the correct answer is 'energy.'
