Why is active transport necessary for the sodium-potassium pump to work?

Answer:

B. It allows sodium and potassium to move against their concentration gradient

Explanation:

The role of sodium and potassium pump in the body is to help move ions against their concentration gradient. There are two types of transport (1) active transport (2) passive transport.

Passive transport is a natural phenomenon in which ions move from high concentration to lower concentration. In such transport no ATP/energy is required. In contrast to this, active transport is a kind of transport which occurs against concentration gradient and in order to facilitate this opposite movement of ions they require ATP/energy input. Sodium and potassium pumps perform active transport in our body. In neurons they play an important role of ion exchange. They move sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradient for which they require ATP and thus help in basic functioning of neurons.

Answer:

A. All channel movement requires active transport to equalize the cell

Explanation:

Active transport is necessary for the sodium-potassium pump to work because all channel movement requires active transport to equalize the cell.

Sever21 [200]

Deforestation leads to fewer plants being available to conduct photosynthesis. Less oxygen is available for cellular respiration is a possible effect on the remaining plant populations.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Deforestation and Photosynthesis are related to each other. Because if Deforestation occurs more photosynthesis will reduce.
  • Cutting and burning down of the trees causes deforestation as it affects photosynthesis. Plants prepare food using photosynthesis.
  • The plant takes carbon-di-oxide for the preparation of food and releases oxygen. Oxygen is required for every living thing in the world.
  • As now World goes on deforestation and it should be seriously stopped.

Which of the following is the best description of the fluid mosaic model? A stationary triglyceride bilayer with fluid proteins.
joja [24]
Hiya once again,

The fluid mosaic model explains only but observations about the structure of functioning cell membranes. However, a lipid bilayer is used to describe the membranes of animals and plant cells. This isn't a great question to be honest with you, so let's try it like this:

Triglyceride: Ester formed by Glycerol and 3 fatty acid groups. These guys are basically made up of fats and oils. (Ex- High concentrated blood)

Phospholipid: A lipid containing a phosphate (an ester of phosphoric acid) in its molecule.

Bilayer: A film (layer) of molecules (created by lipids) that are arranged with it's hydrophobic (meaning whatever it is does NOT mix well with water... Kinda like pouring sugar into a cold glass of water and waiting for the sugar to melt) inverted at both ends of the film.

Embedded Proteins ('Intrinsic Proteins' if you wanna be fancy): Having one or more segments embedded into the phospholipid bilayer.

Stationary (phase): This is something that is mostly involved with bacterial growth

I really hope this helps! Let me know what you got and which one was right!
