Active transport uses cellular energy to move molecules based on the concentration level and Passive transport doesn't require energy to move molecules within their cells.

EXPLANATION:

Active transport uses cellular energy for this movement. It uses energy stored in ATP to begin the transport. This means that the molecules transfer from an area where it is less in number to an area with a high concentration of molecules.

But Passive transport specifies the movement of molecules across cell membranes which doesn't require energy as it depends on the cell membrane's penetrability. Molecules just have to circulate in or out of the cell.

The unusually high frequency of "blue skin" in the area is an example of genetic drift.

Explanation:

It is a shift in the occurrence of an established gene variant within a population due to spontaneous organism screening. The offspring alleles are a composite of those in the parents and opportunity has a role to play in deciding whether or not a given person persists and reproduces.

The bottleneck impact is an interesting instance of genetic drift which take place when the population size is drastically reduced. Occurrences like natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires can destroy a city, eliminate most people and leave a tiny, random assortment of survivors remaining.

Explain why the suspension of isolated chloroplasts became alkaline when illuminated?

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Yes, protons are pumped across the membrane, but flow right back again through the ATP synthase. More important is that illumination is required for carbon fixation. As photosynthesis runs, the chloroplasts remove CO2 from the water they are suspended in. In solution, CO2 forms carbonic acid, so removing CO2 will reduce the level of carbonic acid, raising the pH.

Why are epithelial membranes thin?

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

d. Epithelial tissues are nourished by blood vessels in adjacent tissues, thus diffusion is limited to thin tissues.

Explanation:

Epithelial tissues have tightly packed cells and have no space for blood vessels to be present between adjacent epithelial cells. The cells of the epithelial tissues get nutrients from the blood vessels of neighboring connective tissues.

Since the exchange of nutrients between the cells of the epithelial and connective tissues occurs through diffusion, epithelial tissues are only one to few cells layers thick to allow nutrient supply to all of its cells.
