Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient. is a major difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport

<u>Explanation:</u>

One of the comparisons is that both facilitated diffusion and active transport utilize proteins as their medians of moving their materials to and from the cell.  Another relationship is the primary purpose of both facilitated diffusion and active transport is to drive material over the cell membrane.

One of the variations is that active transport demands energy, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy. The energy that active transport uses is ATP. The Major difference is that facilitated diffusion enables substances to accompany the concentration gradient either way, while active transport only has substances go one way, against their concentration gradient.

Shalnov [3]

Members of phylum Porifera are commonly known as spongs. They are generally marine and mostly asymmetrical animals. These are primitive multicellular animals and have cellular level of organization (lacks tissues). These Organisms (belonging to phylum Porifera) lacks most of the structures that are present in multicellular organisms like digestive system, respiratory system, Brain etc

Body of Spongs are made up of spicules or spongin fibers and these organism contain a water canal system which helps them in digestion, reproduction and catching their food in marine habitat.

kari74 [83]

[ C. Coriolis Effect ]

If the Earth didn't rotate, winds would travel north or south because of the differences in pressure and temperature. The Earth does rotate, so, the Coriolis Effect diverts the wind to the left of the Southern Hemisphere and right of the Northern Hemisphere. The Coriolis Effect is very important because it creates cyclonic weather system.s

Best of Luck!

Answer:

Explanation:

Species: a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding.

Population: a particular group or type of people or animals living in a place.

Gene pool: the stock of different genes in an interbreeding population.

Mutations: the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.

Lateral Gene Transfer: the movement of genetic material between unicellular and/or multicellular organisms other than by the transmission of DNA from parent to offspring (reproduction).

Single-gene Traits: when a trait is linked to one gene-pair that consists of two alleles.

Polygenic Traits: is one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene.
