Tundra biomes are either found at high latitudes or high elevations in mountains. These are both very cold environments that are dominated most of the year by snow and icy conditions. This in itself tends to stunt plant growth.

These regions, especially, tundra in the high latitudes also have very short growing seasons (3 months perhaps) and so plants can only photosynthesize and store sugars for this amount of time. High winds in these environments also tend to keep plants low to the ground.

Q? Describe the concentration gradient of carbon dioxide across the cell membrane.

hoa [83]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide goes with the concentration gradient across the cell membrane. It goes in the direction of the concentration gradient, from high concentration to low concentration.

Explanation:

$CO_{2}$ undergoes simple diffusion, which is an example of passive transport. Passive transport diffusion goes with the concentration gradient, while on the other hand, active transport goes against the concentration gradient.

Going with the concentration gradient means that the molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. This is what carbon dioxide does.

Going against the concentration gradient means that the molecules move from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration. This goes against the concentration gradient.
