The term used to describe the organisms overall attempt at maintaining balance or equilibrium of it's internal environment is called Homeostasis.
Answer:
Only P-, F-, and V-class pumps transport ions.
Explanation:
The distinct classes of ATPases include:
1) Only the P-type ATPase actively transports ions across biological membranes. P-ATPases (also named E1-E2 ATPases) are found both in plasma and organelle membranes. These ATPases serve to transport ions and phospholipids by hydrolyzing ATP to ADP and phosphate.
2) A- and F-ATPases synthesize ATP by transforming the energy from a gradient of ions across the cell membrane.
3) V-ATPase (also known as Vacuolar-H+ ATPases) acidifies vacuole, lysosome, endosome and Golgi membranes. This type of ATPase couples the hydrolysis of ATP to the active transport of protons across biological membranes.
4) E-ATPases hydrolyze extracellular ATP.
Yes. Found in most animal cells and plant cells. It is responsible for cell respiration and the release or storage of energy in readily useable form.
The answer is false. The reason is: Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they must eat or absorb it. For this reason, heterotrophs are also known as consumers.
