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

Write a new hypothesis and conduct new experiments to explore the matter. Thus, option "B" is correct.

<h3 /><h3>What is the Hypothesis?</h3>

Hypothesis

The formulation of hypotheses is one of the key steps in the scientific method.

Hypotheses are usually tested using experiments and are usually accepted or rejected depending on the outcome of the experiments.

If a hypothesis is rejected, it does not mean that the entire subject is abandoned. Rather, new hypotheses may be formed and experiments conducted to further explore the subject.

nata0808 [166]
The correct answer for this question is A. Law of segregation.

All individuals have two alleles for a  given trait. According to Mendel's Law of segregation, these alleles are passed down one each from both mother and father.  

Explanations;
According to this law of segregation the allele pairs separate or segregate during the formation of gamete, during the process of meiosis, leaving each cell with a single allele for each trait, and randomly unite during fertilization. One pair of allele comes from the mother while the other pair comes from the father, and joins together to form a diploid cell. Therefore, organisms inherit two alleles for each trait one from each parent.
