Answer:

C. "Using the sodium-potassium pump involves the hydrolysis of ATP and the

release of Nat to the outside of the cell."

Explanation:

The use of a sodium-potassium pump is a form of active transport, not diffusion. It also requires energy because the pump moves ions against their concentration gradient (low to high), unlike diffusion.

Answer:

Using the sodium-potassium pump involves the hydrolysis of ATP and the

release of Na+ to the outside of the cell.

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport. Molecules are moved from higher to lower concentration hence the process does not require energy or ATP. It does require a pore or channel to facilitate the process.

Out of the given options, sodium potassium pump is not an example of facilitated diffusion since it is hydrolysing ATP and using energy for the movement of Na+ ions against the concentration gradient. It is an example of active transport.

How can a child get a chromosome that is totally different from the original chromosomes of both parents
Oduvanchick [21]
This can happen because you have recessive and dominant characteristics passed down. So you can get a totally different chromosome that doesn't come from your parents because your grandparents may have had it or great grand parents, the line keeps going .
