If a drug controls blood pressure than the transport of materials throughout our body will be affected. As for example - gases exchange, hormone level of every organ will be affected most. organs can develop hypoxia or hyperoxia conditions which can lead to cell damage or malfunction inside the organ and that can have a lethal effect on body also.
The type of ecosystem that covers much of South east Asia is the Rainforest Ecosystem. This ecosystem is characterized by heavy rainfall all year round (up to 4000 mm in some regions). The Temperature does not fluctuate much but remains in the range of 27-33 degrees Celsius annually.
Rain forest ecosystems have deep red soils known as latosols. Species are very diverse; both plants and animals. The trees here can reach up to 40 metres tall for the emergent layer. Trees are tall and have buttress roots for support. The leaves of plants have drip tips to allow water to run off quickly.
Similarities:
Both involve ion movement. Both use ion channels to move ions across the cell membrane, in or out of the cell.
Differences:
Passive Transport (or Diffusion) moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy. Active Transport moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP. Active Transport uses an ion pump (or Sodium/Potassium pump) to move 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions in to the cell through the energy of 1 ATP molecule.
In active transport particles move against a concentration gradient and therefore require energy which must be supplied by the cell. Carrier proteins that are found in the cell membrane of cells use energy to transport molecules or ions across the membrane, against the concentration gradient.
Passive transport is a naturally-occurring phenomenon and does not require the cell to exert any of its energy to accomplish the movement. In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Its waxy outside keeps the water in and everything else out.
