Answer:

Materials get transported from the cell by some mechanisms such as Active Transport, Passive Transport, Diffusion, etc.

Explanation:

Active Transport :

It is a process by which, materials are transported from the extracellular membrane to the intracellular membrane with the help of ATP. It has a few types :  

Primary Active Transport :  

This system is standing upon the sodium-potassium pump. It moves out   Na⁺ from the cell and allows the entry of K⁺ into the cell. In this process ATP is a source of energy. E.g, Sodium-potassium pump.

Secondary Active Transport :

It is mainly standing upon Primary Active Transport. In this process, the main key point is the concentration gradient. There is already a concentration gradient set up by the primary active transport. This system uses that up and moves other substances against their own gradient concentration. E.g, assuming, there is a high concentration of sodium outside the cell,  if a route such as a channel or a carrier protein is open then sodium ions will move into the cell.  In this transport system, some cotransporters are used who move in the sodium ion into the sodium gradient.  

Passive transport :

It is a process by which, substances cross the plasma membrane without acquiring any energy from the cell. Here, no energy is needed because the substances are moving from higher concentration to its lower concentration. E.g, cell membrane or plasma membrane works as a permeable or semipermeable membrane.  

Diffusion :

It is the movement of a substance across a membrane, due to the concentration gradient, without any help from other molecules. E.g, movement of the gaseous molecule from cell to cell.

Bingel [31]

Complete question:

You hang a swing from a live tree branch that is roughly parallel to the ground. What will likely happen over time as the tree grows? Check All That Apply

  1. The swing will move farther away from the tree trunk.
  2. The swing will move up. away from the ground.
  3. The swing will remain in its original position.
  4. The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.

Answer:

The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.

Explanation:

The trunk or branch strangulation sadly occurs very often. When people tie a young tree with different materials, such as a rope, or a cable, or a wire, and leave it there, the leash will eventually strangulate the tree.

Strangulation occurs because the tree keeps growing, applying pressure on the leash. The vascular system is in the trunk perimeter under the crust. Through the years, the pressure increases, the trunk is even more strangulated, and the vascular system is affected. One of the first and principal effects of strangulation is the increase in the trunk or branch diameter over the leash. This diameter change is because elements of the sap can not go back to the roots and keep near the strangulation. At this point, there are two options:

  • The tree can sort this by including the leash in its tissues, surrounding and absorbing it, and keep growing normally

or

  • The vascular system is so affected that the tree can not sort this problem and so, those parts of the tree located over the leash dye.

<em>In the exposed example, it seems that the tree could make it and included the swing's ropes in the branch. </em>
