Answer:

Transporters are the integral membrane proteins that serve to move the substances across the membrane.

Explanation:

Transporters are the membrane proteins that serve to move specific ions or molecules across the lipid bilayer. These are the integral membrane proteins. Transporters include carriers, channels, pumps, etc. Channels are the integral membrane proteins that serve to provide a pathway for transport of charged and/or polar substances that otherwise can not cross the non-polar core of the lipid bilayer.

Pumps are involved in the active transport of substances against the concentration gradient and use the energy of ATP hydrolysis. Some of the examples of transporters are voltage-gated ion channels, GLUT1 glucose transporter, F₀F₁ ATPase proton pump, etc.

Gross production is the amount of energy left after cellular respiration true or false ?
Arturiano [62]
This is false. Gross production is the total production that occurs before cellular respiration, or any net loss of energy occurs. It is impossible to maintain this initial amount of energy, however.

Which statement best describes an environmental consequence of unsealed landfills? Landfills can produce carbon dioxide that lea
kirill [66]

The correct statement describing environmental consequence of unsealed Landfills is : ( A ) Landfills can produce carbon dioxide that leak into the atmosphere

A landfill is composed of 4 essential components and some are ;

  • bottom linear
  • hydrogeologic component and
  • A cover ( seal )

Given that a landfill constitutes of about 40 to 60 percent of C0₂ the environmental consequence of not providing a proper seal for the landfill will be the leakage of C0₂ into the atmosphere. while

The release of Heavy metals as leach ate into the surrounding can be controlled with the provision of a system in the landfill, materials in landfill undergo decomposition for a long period of time.

Hence we can conclude that Landfills can produce carbon dioxide that leak into the atmosphere.
