Why does passive transport not require the cell to use energy to move molecules across the membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Passive transport not require the cell to use energy to move molecules across the membrane because in passive transport the molecules move down their concentration gradient.

Explanation:

passive transport is an important type of membrane transport process which helps in the transport of various molecules such as oxygen,carbon dioxide ,water etc.

                 Passive transport involves diffusion,osmosis and facilitated diffusion.No additional energy is required to carry out passive transport because in passive transport the molecules move from region of high concentration to the low concentration region until equilibrium is reached.

What is the purpose of the replication
stepan [7]

The purpose of the replication bubble is that it forms where replication is taking place (option A).

<h3>What is replication?</h3>

Replication is the process of producing replicas or duplicate of DNA or RNA molecules.

DNA replication is a very important process that occurs prior to cell division. During replication, the double stranded DNA is separated into two single strands.

Each copy called the leading and lagging strand becomes the template for the synthesis of new DNA strands.

However, a structure called replication bubble is a formed during the separation of two DNA strands by the helicase enzymes.

Therefore, the purpose of the replication bubble is that it forms where replication is taking place.

Flowering Locus C (FLC) is a gene that is responsible for flowering in certain plants. FLC is expressed in new seedlings, which
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

- New seedlings: histone acetylation

- After cold exposure: histone methylation

Explanation:

Vernalization is an adaptive mechanism whose objective is to ensure that flowering occurs only after winter (i.e., after cold conditions). In certain plants, this process (vernalization) suppresses the expression of genes that encode repressors of flowering. In <em>Arabidopsis</em>, vernalization is associated with histone modifications at <em>FLC</em> chromatin. The <em>FLOWERING LOCUS C </em>(<em>FLC</em>) is a MADS-box gene that acts as a repressor of flowering in <em>Arabidopsis</em>. Epigenetic modifications control the expression of the <em>FLC</em> gene. The <em>FLC</em> gene is expressed at low temperatures due to histone acetylation at <em>FLC</em> chromatin, and thereby the expression of <em>FLC</em> mRNA transcripts ensures that the <em>Arabidopsis</em> plant cannot flower. Subsequently, as the <em>Arabidopsis</em> plant is exposed to cold, <em>FLC</em> is repressed by the accumulation of trimethylation on lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27me3), thereby allowing it to flower when temperatures become warmer.

Describe how X-linked traits are inherited
enyata [817]

Answer:

X-linked recessive inheritance is a way a genetic trait or condition can be passed down from parent to child through mutations (changes) in a gene on the X chromosome. In males (who only have one X chromosome), a mutation in the copy of the gene on the single X chromosome causes the condition.
