Active transport must function continuously because __________.

Biology
1 answer:
kotegsom [21]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

Active transport is defined as the movement of solutes or molecules across a membrane on the basis of difference in solute concentration.

Active transport functions continuously due to diffusion that allows solutes to move constantly across the membrane. Cells have low concentrations of sodium (Na+) and high concentrations of potassium (K+). Hence, the electrical gradient and concentration gradient of sodium (Na+) that allows diffusion of the ion into the cell, and the electrical gradient of Na+ (a positive ion) that allows movement of ion inward to the negatively charged interior.

Hence, the correct option is D.

Can two organisms with the same phenotype have different genotypes?

Let's look BB and Bb

They both have the dominant trait which means they both have the same physical appearance (phenotype) , but while BB has both dominant and Bb has one dominant and one recessive that means that although Bb has the same phenotype as BB, it has a different genotype because it has a bit different genetic makeup

zmey [24]

Answer:

<h2>There are different theories that was proposed regarding the evolution.</h2>

Explanation:

Spontaneous generation theory states that life arises from some non-living thing or component. An experiment was carried out where it was believed that maggots arises from a piece of flesh. So, they believe that maggots (living) arises from flesh (maggots).

Theory of biogenesis states that living organisms arises from living organisms.  To support the theory Pateur performed an experiment and proves that living organism arises from living organisms.

Which of the following is one observation that darwin made as he developed his theory of natural selection?
ZanzabumX [31]
D - the theory of natural selection states that the population will be narrowed as "less fit" organisms die and "more fit" organisms survive, passing on their beneficial genes to offspring. Therefore, more organisms are born than can survive.

What substance, produced by virus-infected cells, diffuses to neighboring cells to help them fight a viral infection
Ksenya-84 [330]

Interferons:  

The body releases glycoproteins as the defensive response to virus are called interferons.

The interferons initiate the series of molecular changes and elicit the immune cells to fight the pathogens or foreign particles. These interferons affect the growth of cells and inflammation. Interferons are the cytokines and are responsible for intercellular signalling. The interferons does not directly affect the multiplication of virus instead, it does not let other cells allow virus to use its machinery and replicate. Interferons are of three types: alpha, beta and gamma. The gamma interferon is majorly responsible for the immune response.
