What is the difference between active and passive transport across the plasma membrane? what is the difference between active an

d passive transport across the plasma membrane? active transport means that the cell is actively going after substances that it wants to bring into the cell, whereas passive transport means that the cell just waits for the substance to cross the membrane. active transport implies that the cell is working with other cells, whereas passive transport implies that the cell does not cooperate with other cells. active transport is atp dependent, whereas passive transport uses only the kinetic energy of the particles for movement across the plasma membrane. active transport is used to move substances down their concentration gradient, whereas passive transport is used to move substances against their concentration gradient?

The correct answer is "active transport is ATP dependent whereas in passive transport molecules use kinetic energy to move across the membrane." in  active transport cells use molecules embedded on the cell membrane called carriers in the presence of energy. cells use energy and carriers because molecules must move against concentrated gradient inside the cell. on the hand, passive transport is a process by which molecules move from the region of high concentration to the region of low concentration across plasma membrane until balance is obtained on both sides of the membrane. once equilibrium has been achieved in passive transport the movement of molecules stops.

Explain how water's cohesive and adhesive properties are a result of its bonding among the atoms
vladimir1956 [14]

Water is a unique molecule which contains inter-molecular forces like vandar wall's forces and hydrogen bonding that results in extremely strong bonding forces among water molecules.

Cohesion and adhesion are the properties of water which refer to the fact that water molecules are not only very strongly attracted to water molecules but also to other polar molecules of any type.

This is the cohesive nature of the water which makes water a water drop and it is the adhesive nature of water due to which water takes the shape and available space in a glass or jar of water .

How these properties are a result of bonding between atoms?

Cohesive properties:

  • We are well aware of the fact that water is composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of Hydrogen.
  • The two hydrogen atoms align themselves in such a way that oxygen is in middle of them. Due to great electronegativity difference Oxygen gets a partial negative charge while Hydrogen atoms get partial positive charges.
  • Now one oxygen atom of one one water molecule attracts the partial positive charged hydrogen atom of another water molecule, and this attraction causes the bonding. This type of inter-molecular forces of atom gives water cohesive properties.

Adhesive properties:

  • If we talk about adhesive properties through which water is attracted to other materials of polar nature, these adhesive properties are also due to same nature of bonding.
  • Any polar compounds can easily get bonded with water due to polar nature of water molecules. You can see the attached figure for better understanding of bonding properties of water.

Hope it help!

What is some advice you would give to someone who doesn’t know the importance of carrying capacity
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

For someone who doesn't know the importance of carrying capacity, i would advice him to understand what carrying capacity mean, and then tell him that he should not overcrowd the population of animals or be part of humans overcrowding as it can destroy the ecosystem or resources.

Explanation:

This is because, carrying capacity is the population size that can conviniently live in an habitat with the available resources..

It's very important because, it will ensure that the population size that the resources can sustain can live in the environment so as to prevent degradation of the ecosystem or the environment due to increase in population size.
