Hello!

We know that the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to high concentration. This movement is against the concentration gradient and thus requires the use of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to successfully move. This process is the opposite of diffusion, which requires the use of no energy because it moves materials DOWN the concentration gradient.

I hope I helped! Feel free to leave a comment down below if you need any more assistance, even if it is not with this question. :)

Answer:

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease

Explanation:

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum, a spirochaete gram-negative bacterium with various subspecies. This disease is transmitted through direct contact (person to person) by different types of sexual acts. A chancre is an infectious genital lesion that is considered to be the first stage (and symptom) of syphilis. The incubation period of syphilis is 14-21 days. Syphilis can be divided into four stages: primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. Primary syphilis produces chancres on the genitals, mouth, rectum, etc. Secondary syphilis causes rashes that occur from 2-8 weeks after the chancres. The third (latent) stage is a latent/hidden phase without noticeable symptoms. Finally, the tertiary (late) stage causes large sores within the body that affects the heart, nervous system, etc. The best manner to prevent syphilis is by practicing safe sex (e.g., by using condoms). It has been suggested that syphilis has an estimated transmission rate of 0.5–1.4% per sexual act. Syphilis doesn't have an effective treatment, but this disease can be cured in its early stages with one dose of benzathine penicillin G (administered intramuscularly).

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are both are unusual in that they have double membranes and contain their own set of dna. can you

kolbaska11 [484]

This observation can be explained by the theory of endosymbiosis. From what scientists have discovered, it can be explained that the double membrane of both chloroplast and mitochondria are as a result of them been subjected to phagocytosis but they were not digested. Their DNA suggest that they were once free living prokaryotes. This agree with the endosymbiosis theory which states that eukaryotic cell organelles developed from prokaryotic cells.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The correct answer is - chromatin.

Explanation:

Chromatin is a part within a chromosome consisting of DNA and protein. The DNA carries the cell's genetic instructions and these are complex structures present in multiple linear chromosomes.

The major proteins in chromatin are histones, which help package the DNA in a compact form that fits in the cell nucleus.
