Both use ion channels to move ions across the cell membrane, in or out of the cell. Differences: Passive Transport (or Diffusion) moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy. Active Transport moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP.

I NEED HELP The measure of how resistant a solid is to shape change when a force is applied.

enyata [817]

Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by strong intermolecular bonds, but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore, there are different measurements of hardness: scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.

blagie [28]

Answer:

Increase in eosinophils.

Explanation:

The leukocytes are the white blood cell that plays an important role in the immune system. The white blood cell include eosinophil, basophil, neutrophil and monocytes.

The allergic reactions that are caused by hay fever or asthma is marked by the excess increase in the number of eosinophils in the body. The eosinophils are the first to reach at the site of parasitic infections and protect the body during the allergic reactions.

Thus, the answer is eosinophils.
