Answer:

Clues that can be used to determine whether the movement of solutes through the membrane is passive or active could be the molecule size, membrane potential, and the presence/absence of membrane protein.

Explanation:

Solutes transport through the cellular membrane depends on the solute size, membrane potential, and the presence/absence of integral membrane protein.

There are two types of transport: Active and passive.

-        Passive transport: It does <u>not need energy</u>; it is driven by a chemical potential gradient. <u>Small molecules</u> with no charge are transported through the membrane in a gradient favor, from a high concentration region to a low concentration region. There are two types of passive transport: <em>By simple diffusion</em> (small molecules pass through the membrane by themselves) and by <em>facilitated diffusion</em> (molecules are helped by integral membrane proteins to pass through the membrane). In facilitated diffusion, the helping protein can be a <u>channel protein</u> (hydrophilic pores that allow the molecule to pass with no interaction) or a <u>carrier protein</u> (proteins with mobile parts that suffer modification as the molecule pass to the other side).

-         Active transport: It <u>does need ATP energy</u> to pass the molecule through the membrane, as they have to <u>move against the electrochemical gradient</u>. This kind of transport is always mediated by a <u>carrier protein</u>. These proteins join with the molecules and suffer changes as they pass the solute to the other side of the membrane. An important example of this kind of transport is the sodium-potassium bomb.

PLEASE HELP ASAP IM TIMED!! 100 PTS WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST AND CORRECTLY
cestrela7 [59]

Answer: More than 99 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct. As new species evolve to fit ever changing ecological niches, older species fade away. But the rate of extinction is far from constant. At least a handful of times in the last 500 million years, 75 to more than 90 percent of all species on Earth have disappeared in a geological blink of an eye in catastrophes we call mass extinctions.

Though mass extinctions are deadly events, they open up the planet for new forms of life to emerge. The most studied mass extinction, which marked the boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods about 66 million years ago, killed off the nonavian dinosaurs and made room for mammals and birds to rapidly diversify
