Answer:

Active Diffusion

Explanation:

In active transport, a molecule is transported against its gradient which means the flow of molecule is from regions of low concentration to regions of high concentration. In order to carryout such transports, external energy is applied through biological pumps such as sodium-potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase)  which maintains the resting potential of the cell.  

Some times the energy produced by ATP is directly used and this process is known as primary active transport/diffusion

Answer: W = 6.4x10⁻²¹J

Explanation: <u>Work</u> is the energy transferred to or from an object due to the application of a force along a displacement.

The ion Na is gaining energy to move from a lower potential to a higher one.

For this to happen, the work done is calculated as

W=q.\Delta V

in which

W is work in Joules (J)

q is charge in Coulomb (C)

\Delta V is potential difference in Volts (V)

The ion Na has one positive charge. In coulombs, the charge is

q = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

The potential difference in Volts is

\Delta V = 40x10⁻³ or 4x10⁻²V

Calculating

W=q.\Delta V

W = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹. 4x10⁻²

W = 6.4 x 10⁻²¹ J

The work done to move an ion of sodium from the exterior to the interior is 6.4 x 10⁻²¹ J.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

c. Cold front

Explanation:

Cold fronts are bodies of air with cooler temperatures than the surrounding air. The general effect cold fronts have is that they cause a drastic change in the weather. This is because when they interact with the warmer air, they produce precipitation.

The storm most likely, came with an advancing mass of cold air, which caused the dramatic drop in temperature that was experienced. This is what is known as a cold front.
