The Sodium-Potassium Pump. Active transport is the energy-requiring process of pumping molecules and ions across membranes "uphill" - against a concentration gradient. ... It moves two potassium ions into the cell where potassium levels are high, and pumps three sodium ions out of the cell and into the extracellular fluid.

The ATP that is generated in glycolysis is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation, a very different mechanism than the one

belka [17]

Answer: Phosphorylation reactions involve the addition of a phosphate group to another molecule called ADP (adenosine diphosphate)

Explanation:

Phosphorylation can of two kinds:

I) Substrate-level Phosphorylation which occurs when ATP is produced from the phosphorylation of ADP coupled to the loss of hydrogen atoms from an organic substrate

II) Oxidative Phosphorylation occurs when ATP is produced from the phosphorylation of ADP by using proton pump fuelled by the electron transport system.

Note that the difference between both (I and II) is that the former occurs independent of the electron transport system, UNLIKE the latter.

Scientists at Russia’s Vostok Station in eastern Antarctica drilled the longest ice core ever recorded. They compiled this graph

Wittaler [7]

The data supports the fourth choice, that increasing air temperature and CO2 levels correlate with a decrease in dust concentration.

The first choice is unlikely to reflect dust concentration, and is more likely to be for air temperature. The second choice is false, because the dust concentration is more of a decreasing trend. The third choice is not true, as the spikes in air temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentrations seem to occur simultaneously, implying a positive correlation.
