Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "secondary active transport by an antiporter".

Explanation:

The cotransport of calcium and sodium at which one calcium ion moves out of the cell and three sodium ions move into the cell is known as secondary active transport by an antiporter. It is secondary because it uses a form of energy different from ATP, is an active transport because the calcium ion moves against its gradient, and its done by an antiporter which is an integral membrane protein that function as a cotransporter.

Answer:

d. secondary active transport by an antiporter

Explanation:

Secondary active transport is a type of transport which uses gradient produces by another protien using ATP. It has two methods :

1) Symport : Solutes flow in same direction of the ion gradient (cotransport) as in the case of sodium glucose transporter

2) Antiport : Ions flow in one direction to generate the energy to transport the solutes in other direction .

Na/Ca exchanger is basically removing Calcium ions from the cell by inward flow of Na ions . Hence it is an example of secondary active transport by an antiporter

Doss [256]
The plant starts life as a seed, which germinates and grows into a plant. The mature plant produces flowers, which are fertilised and produce seeds in a fruit or seedpod. The plant eventually dies, leaving seeds which germinate to produce new plants.

marshall27 [118]

Answer: Yes this chemical reaction obeys the laws of physics. Its very simple, let me explain.

Explanation:

When Iron(Fe) oxidizes it gains three oxygen atoms so it reacts to form Fe2O3 so it becomes bigger or explands. Its also sometimes called "oxide jacking".

A. Air over the lake will reach its highest temperature later in the day and will stay warm longer than air over the ground.

Explanation:

The most likely observation the student will record is that the air over the lake will reach its highest temperature later in the day and will stay warm longer than air over the ground.

This phenomenon between the differences in land and water temperature causes land sea breeze to occur.

  • Water has a very high specific heat capacity.
  • This implies it takes more heat to cause a monumental increase in its temperature.
  • It is expected that the student will observe that the air over the lake body will reach its highest temperature later in the day. It would have gotten heated with time.

A body such as water in a lake with a high specific heat capacity stays warm for a longer period of time compared to other substances.

Metals do not have high specific heat capacity and would not stay warm for long. They quickly lose heat.
