Answer:

1) Movement to area of lower concentration: facilitated diffusion . It consists in the diffusion of a substance through a membrane in favor of its concentration gradient, that is to say that there is movement from an area of greater concentration to another of less concentration.

2) Movement assisted by proteins: both. In the facilitated diffusion the molecules must pass through membrane proteins. In active transport, the proteins involved are called pumps that normally use chemical energy.

3) Requires energy active transport: active transport makes use of energy for the movement of molecules because the movement is against a concentration gradient.

4) Sodium ion transport out of the cell: It is a type of active transport because it requires energy to allow movement against its concentration gradient, the ATP supplies the energy.

5) Glucose transport into cell: It is a type of diffusion facilitated through membrane proteins.

6) Movement across a membrane: both

The two main components of plant fertilizers which affect algal growth when they are delivered to aquatic systems via runoff are

sertanlavr [38]

<span>Nitrogen and phosphorous are the most prevalent aquatic pollution and contribute heavily to the excessive growth of algae in aquatic environments called algae blooms. The nitrogen from the fertilizers is found in molecules called nitrates which are compounds of both oxygen and nitrogen. Phosphorous helps algae to absorb carbon dioxide. So when the phosphorous levels are high the algae absorbs more carbon dioxide, which allows for faster photosynthesis and faster glucose production which leads to faster growth. Although algae need both nitrogen and phosphorous to grow, when the levels are too high the algae grows faster than the ecosystem can sustain leading to oxygen deprivation for the other aquatic organisms.</span>

Huntington's disease is a hereditary ailment caused by a recessive gene. if both parents carry the gene but do not have the dise

serg [7]

Getting the probability for each event can easily be done using Punnett Square (say, Hh x Hh for the couple since they are both carriers of the disease). Doing so will result to: 0.25 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is not a carrier of the gene, 0.50 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is a carrier of the gene, and a 0.25 probability of an offspring having the disease. The probability of these events apply to each offspring, and will not depend on how many children they want to have. This means each offspring has a 0.25-0.50-0.25 chance of not being a carrier, being a carrier, and having the disease, respectively.

Why is calcium (Ca) in group 2, period 4 on the periodic table?

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Calcium is a silvery-white, soft metal that tarnishes rapidly in air and reacts with water. Calcium metal is used as a reducing agent in preparing other metals such as thorium and uranium. It is also used as an alloying agent for aluminium, beryllium, copper, lead and magnesium alloys. Calcium is essential to all living things, particularly for the growth of healthy teeth and bones. Calcium phosphate is the main component of bone. The average human contains about 1 kilogram of calcium.

Answer:

You can use any of these questions, or all of them! I hope this will be helpful.

1.) How did scientists find out that llamas could be helpful?

2.) What will be done to the llama to find a cure, will the animal be hurt in any way?

3.) How long would it take until the cure could actually take action in the body?

4.) Could this be potentially harmful to be injected/ingested?

5.) What is the estimated time that it will take for this cure to become?
