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

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.

Simone is creating a model to track the movement of carbon atoms in an ecosystem. Which statement best explains the role of plan
Mademuasel [1]

Although I cannot see the model for Simone's experiment, I can offer the insight that the most likely role of plants in the model is that they consume the carbon atoms and produce oxygen.

<h3>How do plants affect the carbon in the atmosphere?</h3>
  • Plants are known to have a<u> great effect</u> on the carbon levels of the atmosphere.
  • The correlation is that the more plants are present, the less carbon is free in the air.
  • The reason for this is that plants use carbon dioxide as a substrate to manage the process of photosynthesis.
  • As a by-product, after consuming carbon dioxide and completing photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the atmosphere.

Therefore, we can confirm that the most likely role of plants in the model created by Simone, is that they will consume carbon atoms in the form of carbon dioxide in order to sustain photosynthesis, which releases oxygen.
