Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is A) Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.</em></u>

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion can be described as the type of diffusion which occurs with the help of other molecules. For example, when integral proteins help in the transport of a molecule through the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport as it allows molecules to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration along a concentration gradient.

Active transport is the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient from an area of lower concentration to the area of higher concentration and hence, require energy.

Relate the development of plant needles to the occurrence of mutations.
xxMikexx [17]
<h2>Development of Plant Needles</h2>

Explanation:

  • Seed of pitch pine treated with colchicine delivered tetraploid seedlings which had thick and sporadic needles and less fortunate tallness and diameter growth than ordinary seedlings.  
  • In test of colchicine-initiated polyploidy in pines, researcher found that a significant number of the polyploid plants returned to a diploid development in light of the fact that the polyploid cells partitioned at a more slow rate and were overwhelmed by the more quickly developing diploid cells which encompassed them.  
  • The primary needles of both diploid and polyploid plants were more effective at low light intensity than secondary needles, and they had lower compensation points.

BEFORE equilibrium has been reached in this container: (Circle a letter for each) 1. Movement of glucose across the membrane in
qwelly [4]

Hello. You forgot to put the image so that this question can be answered, but I will describe what the image shows.

The image shows two types of "cups" that have a type of connection between the two. In cup A there is 1 mole of glucose and 1 mole of fructose. In cup B there is 0.1 mol of glucose and 1.5 mol of fructose.

Answer:

A. Solution A to Solution B

Explanation:

Balance is achieved when the "cup" with the lowest concentration of glucose receives glucose from the "cup" with the highest concentration, to the point that the two glasses establish equal concentrations of glucose between them.

We know that cup B has a lower concentration of glucose, which indicates that the movement of this solute was from cup A towards cup B. With this we can conclude that the letter A is the correct answer.
