Which movement of substances through a cell membrane against a concentration gradient requires energy?

Biology
1 answer:
raketka [301]3 years ago
6 0
The answer to this is active transport. 

This is a kind of movement of substances. Unlike diffusion or osmosis, the substances move against the concentration gradient (ie. from low concentration to high concentration). This process requires extra energy generated such as from cellular respiration. 

In addition, this process also requires a carrier protein, where it'll pick up certain substances that are needed to transport and move it to the other side. Some examples of movements of active transports are such as root hair cells of plants picking up minerals, or our small intestine absorbing nutrients digested.

What is an adaptive advantage of recombination between linked genes?
Georgia [21]

Answer:

New allele combinations are acted upon by natural selection.

Explanation:

Recombination may be defined as the process of the exchange of the genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non sister chromatid. The combined trait will be visible in the upcoming generation.  

The recombination allows the generation of the new genes in the population. These new genes if beneficial for the population will be pass to the next generations. The new allele will be favored by the natural selection and increases the chance of survival of the population.

Thus, the correct answer is new allele combinations are acted upon by natural selection.

What is the primary function of the juxtaglomerular complex?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Juxtaglomenular is a structure in the kidney which regulates the function of each nephron, the functional units of the kidney. The main function of the  juxtaglomerular cells is to secrete renin in response to:

Stimulation of the beta-1 adrenergic receptor

Decrease in renal perfusion pressure (detected directly by the granular cells)

Decrease in NaCl concentration at the macula densa, often due to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate

Explanation:

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a specialized structure formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole. It is located near the vascular pole of the glomerulus and a structure in the kidney that regulates the function of each nephron, the functional units of the kidney.

  • These dust storms resulted from severe drought and failure of practices to prevent soil erosion.
  • Several people and livestock died as a result of choking.
  • Over plowing, removal of top soil and  small grasses exposed the soil to eroding winds and caused the dust storms.
