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.

Give two reasons why it is better for human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic re
NISA [10]
Anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) would caused muscle cells to produce lactic acid. This causes the muscles to ache and in the long term, damages them. Also anaerobic respiration releases far less energy (ATP) than aerobic respiration. So it is best for muscle cells to respire aerobically as they need more energy.

How are the platypus’s bill and feet specially adapted for survival in their environment? (Site 2)
lapo4ka [179]
Platypus is an Australian mammal that lives in deciduous forests. Platypus's bill is adapted in order to allow platypus to travell and find its way in the river without using vision. This adaptation is achieved through special receptors that sense touch and electricity. Platypus's feet are webbed, enabling them to swim fast and efficiently and move easily on muddy surfaces.

he burrowing owl is found in dry, open areas such as grasslands, prairies, savannas, deserts, farmlands, golf courses, and other
Arturiano [62]

Hey there!

A Burrowing owl's habitat is destroyed which is due to human activities and will come under Artificial destruction via human influence and not due to a natural destruction like cyclones, High Richter scale earthquakes, hurricanes with extremely high knot speeds, etc. Instead I'll say because of which the population of the burrowing owl will obviously decrease because they're more adapted to "their previous environment" and most likely "wouldn't adapt to a new unfamiliar environment".

To break these contradictions down simply said "they're unaware of the rules, regulations, type of soil, type of trophic levels, number of predatory organisms, etc. this makes it pretty hard to move from their once said naturally provided nature-made habitat to the burrowing owl, which got lost due to habitat annihilation by human cause. Further making the owls to adapt and change their "NATURAL TRAITS" to make it "CUSTOM" because of which these aren't going to help them instead they'd go either extinct by moving to a newly known unfamiliar habitat rather than their naturally nature gifted habitation.

So Yeah, the correct option [after the question mark ends] to be the least likely outcome would've been  "the population of species of burrowing owl maybe increase as per arriving in a new habitat or introduced to newly made surroundings". This is "Highly and the most unlikely" or the "least likely predictable outcome" for burrowing owls. Introduction of species to newer habitats without any prior training, kills the species and it's progenies.

Hope this helps  you and gives you the detailed analysis for this query for burrowing owls!!!!
