Answer:

both ions are transported actively

Explanation:

If both ions are being transported against their concentration gradients, then they are both being transported by active transport, as it requires energy.

A co-transporter moves two substances across the membrane, one passively and one actively. But in this case neither ion is moved passively, so it cannot be considered a cotransporter

Photosynthesis is carried out by which of the following?
WARRIOR [948]
Plants, but not animals

Plants must create their own food (glucose) through a process called photosynthesis. To be able to preform this, the cell must have chloroplasts which take in sunlight. Due to plants not having chloroplasts they are unable to carry out photosynthesis

Hope this helps :-)

Does the gene EEF1 ALPHA1 support the cell theory
nikdorinn [45]

In 1838, a German botanist, M.I.Schleiden studied the plant cells and emphasized that "cells are organisms and entire animals and plants are aggregations of these organisms arranged according to definite laws. "In 1839, another German zoologist T. Schwann stated "we have seen that all organisms are composed of essentially like parts namely of cells." The deductions of the two microscopists (Schleiden and Schwann) formed the basis of what came to be known as the cell theory. The cell theory holds that all living matter, from the simplest of unicellular organisms to very complex higher plants and animals, is composed of cells and that each cell can act independently but functions as an integral part of the complete organism.

The transfer of genes from one organism to another is called genetic engineering. This is new technology used to change the gene
nikklg [1K]

Answer: C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits.

Explanation:

The genetic engineering involves the insertion of genes from other organism to the host organism so as to make up genetically modified organism. Some unwanted and default genes are also removed from the organisms so that their body function properly.

The genetically modified foods are the examples of genetic engineering. This is done to produce desirable traits in the food crops. In plants both plants and animal genes are inserted to improve the yield of crops, and to improve their quality. In animals, the insertion of genes of other animals is likely to improve the milk and meat yield.
