What is active transport?

Biology
2 answers:
Citrus2011 [14]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

B. The movement of molecules up a concentration gradient from low to high, using energy

Explanation:

In active transport, the molecules move against the concentration gradient.

This means that the molecules move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

Because it goes against the concentration gradient, it requires the use of ATP energy.

So, B is correct because it is the movement of molecules from a low to high concentration using energy.

The _____ relies upon radioactive sugar that is injected into the body to form representations of the brain.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer is Positron Emission Tomography.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging test based on nuclear medicine. In PET imaging a small amount of liquid radioactive material such as simple sugar (glucose) called fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is injected into the bloodstream. It is accumulated in the body and emit gamma rays which are  detected by PET. Many diseases such as cancers, brain diseases and heart diseases are diagnosed by the PET imaging.

Suppose you are recording a neuron’s resting membrane potential. If you added more KCl to the external medium, what would happen
Talja [164]

Answer:

addition to the external medium.

Genearlly, potassium is an intracellualr ion, therefore there is higher concentration of potasium ions with its positive charges inside than outside.In addition potassium ion has many leaking potassium  channels in the cell membrane,which permit K+ to escape down the gradient to the extracellular medium.

Therefore when  KCl is added to the external medium of a resting neuron, the concentration of external K+ increase than intracellular medium, preventing K+ from diffusing out  to the external medium, retaining their positive charges, therefore favouring depolarization of the neuron.This  decreases the RMP, leading  to depolarization.

If the KCl is reduced, less k+ are available outside  compare to the inner medium.Therefore  electrochemical gradients  is sets up for leaking of K+out of the intracellular layers, caring  the positive charges along, leaving the inside more negative (together with the negative charges of the  anions of the intracellular layer). This is reversal of charges.And it  increases the RMP.

What is the effect of an increased concentration of calcium ion in the sarcoplasm?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

When calcium concentration increases during depolarization, it shifts the conformation of troponin and tropomyosin, and actin is able to associate with myosin. As calcium is taken up again by the sarcoplasmic reticulum the muscle cell relaxes.
