Distinguish between active and passive transport

1 answer:

4 0

Passive transport does not require ATP energy to be spent by the cell; active transport involves the cell spending energy to move materials.

Explanation:

Molecules naturally move from areas where they are abundant (high concentration) to where they are less common (low concentration) in a process called diffusion. Some molecules will cross in or out of a cell membrane in this way without the cell having to spend any energy to do so. This is passive transport.

When the cell wants to build up an excess of molecules on one side of the cell membrane (inside or outside) it must spend energy to counteract the tendency towards diffusion (described above). The cell must spend energy to do this and this is referred to as active transport.

How would our life be affected if we could make our own food through photosynthesis?

Kaylis [27]

Well first off every thing will be more expensive because we will have more money since we are not using it to buy food any more. we would get more money, save more money, and every thing will cost a lot more. Many people will lose jobs because they won't be making food any more (like people at mcdonalds) and then to get a job people will need higher intellect. The population of cows, pigs, and other animals that we eat will rise and they won't be domesticated any more (unless you want to keep a pet chicken, thats fine with me) and the evolution line might change. Then the downside is that the people live in a climate where it is mostly cloudy and dark will be more hungry and will probably move to warmer areas where they can get enough food. People in warmer climate can just sit outside for a few hours and they will be full and not hungry. As you can see if people began to use photosynthesis to get food. many things will change.

I hope this helped. :3

If a man with blood type A, one of whose parents had blood type O, marries a woman with blood type AB, what are the putative gen

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

If the man has blood type A one of whose parents had blood type O then he must be having the genotype IAi and the woman with blood group AB would have genotype IAIB. So if they produce offspring than the putative genotype of the offspring would be IAIA, IAi, IAIB, and IBi.

IA i

IA IAIA IAi

IB IAIB IBi

Therefore out of four offspring, two offspring would be having A blood group, one offspring would have AB blood group and one offspring would have B blood group.
