How are convection currents produced in the air?

1 answer:

7 0

Convection currents are caused by the colliding of cold and warm air. At night, air above water is warm and air above land is cold. The opposite is true in daytime. When the warm air hits the cold air, which is more dense, it is pushed upward. Then it travels laterally until it cools. It comes back down and pushes up the former cold air, which is now warm. This repeats many times.

Which of the letters above best models a molecule of water moving into the membrane via an aquaporin?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Letter B.

Explanation:

Aquaporins, also known as "water channels," are the main transport of water through the membranes of plant, animal, and bacterial cells. These channels allow the water to travel into and within cells and, at the same time, exclude the passage of ions and solutes.

What makes letter B the correct answer, is the form of transport and shape of the channel that allow water according to the osmotic gradient. In this model, letter A shows simple diffusion, while C and D seem to illustrate gated channels.
