How are landslides and mudflows similar and different?

6 0

Landslide is a general term referring to all types of surface movement, like avalanches involving the mass movement downhill of soil, rock, or snow under the action of gravity. These can be dangerous to human life.
Mudslides are caused unusually heavy rain or sudden thaw. they consist of mostly mud and water with fragments of rock and other debris. They're capable of moving house off of their foundations and can bury a place within minutes.

(oxygen, electron transport chain, chemiosmosis, NADPH)

Vaselesa [24]

Hai there :3 I'm planning to study chemical engineering.

Question related to Biochemistry (Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration)

1. Chemiosmosis. In the process of chemiosmosis, specific enzymes (such as ATP synthase) create ATP. Hydrogen ions go from a higher proton concentration to a lower one, which is why it's called chemio"osmosis"

2. Electron Transport Chain (ETC). The name says it all. Simply explained, electrons are transported and transferred in the mitochondrial membrane.

3. Oxygen. O2, the diatomic molecule, is essential in respiration. In the final stage of respiration, at the near end of the electron transport chain, oxygen accepts protons to become water. Cells use O2 during oxidative phosphorylation.

4. NADPH. I remember learning what this acronym means by heart. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Hydrogen. NADPH is essential in photosynthesis as a typical coenzyme in the reduction of chemical reactions.

which of the following statements are true regarding active transport and facilitated diffusion (choose two answers) a) Active t

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: B and D

Explanation: We can break down why the correct answers are choices B and D by understanding why A and C are incorrect.

Option A states that active transport utilizes channel proteins, and facilitated diffusion utilizes carrier proteins. This is incorrect. Active transport involves carrier proteins, and facilitated diffusion involves channel proteins. Carrier proteins are different from channel proteins in that, while channel proteins can only facilitate the passive diffusion of ions into or out of the cell along their concentration gradient, carrier proteins can also use ATP to move ions in or out of the cell against their concentration gradient.

This brings us to why option C is also incorrect. Option C states that both processes require the input of energy in the form of ATP. While active transport requires the use of ATP to transport ions with or against their concentration gradient, facilitated diffusion does not. This is easily remembered when we consider that active transport is called *active* transport because the cell is *actively* using energy to transport ions.

Hope this helped.
