Answer:

The ions are transported with the help of sodium-potassium pump that obtains energy by the breaking of ATP. This form of transportation is known as active transport.

Explanation:

In the active form of transportation, energy is needed to mediate the ions of sodium and potassium against the concentration gradient. There are two forms of active transport, that is, primary active transport and secondary active transport. In primary active transport energy in the form of ATP is used directly to conduct ions across a membrane, and in secondary active transport, no direct coupling of ATP takes place, however, in this energy is obtained due to the pumping of protons across the membrane.

A population of ground squirrels lives in underground burrows several miles from an ocean shore. If a hurricane strikes the shor
Travka [436]

Answer:

flooding

Explanation:

The hurricane brings in enormous amounts of rainfall with it, often resulting in flooding. The ground squirrels in this scenario live relatively close to the ocean shore. They live in burrows, spending big portion of their time in them, as well as having their young ones sheltered in them. The heavy rainfall and the flooding of the area will result in filling the burrows with water. The damage for the population of ground squirrels will be enormous, with their young ones all drowning for sure, and the majority of the adults getting drowned as well, or maybe even all of them. Hope this helps!!!!!

What does it mean for an environment to be isotonic?(1 point)
HACTEHA [7]

A solution to be isotonic refers to b) The concentration of solute in the environment and the concentration inside the cell are at equilibrium.

  • Isotonic solution is the solution that have equal concentration of solute on both sides of the solution separated by a membrane.
  • If a cell is kept in an isotonic solution that means the concentration of the solute inside the cell is the same as that of the outside then the movement of solvent does not occur between the cell and the external environment.
  • The osmotic pressure inside the cell and outside the cell across the semipermeable membrane of the cell becomes the same due to equal concentration of the solute on each side.

0.9% normal saline is an example of isotonic solution.
