<h2>Active & Passive transport</h2>

Explanation:

  • Active transport is where a chemical reaction using ATP moves things in/out of the cell through transport proteins within the cell wall. It uses a concentration gradient to trigger the reaction (it goes against the concentration gradient in active transport)
  • Molecules move against a concentration gradient ( low concentration ―→ high concentration)
  • Cellular energy (ATP) is required
  • Passive transport also uses a concentration gradient by diffusion (hydrophobic or very small polar molecules) and facilitated diffusion via carrier proteins and channels
  • Molecules move along the concentration gradient (high concentration ―→ low concentration)
  • No cellular energy is required

The microorganisms that are known to inhabit the damaged tissues are oral spirochaete which includes Borrelia,Fusobacteria, Bacteroidese and Peptostreptococcus.

Ancient astronomers thought that Earth was flat. Which observation eventually proved that this is wrong?
Rashid [163]
While it is a common belief to people in the ancient civilisations that the Earth is considered as "flat", the contrary idea that the Earth could be considered as "spherical" was first theorised by the famous ancient philosopher Aristotle when he observed that a circular shadow was cast by the moon during a lunar eclipse.
