In certain cells, a transport protein moves one calcium ion out of the cell against its concentration gradient while allowing th

e movement of three sodium ions into the cell down sodium's electrochemical gradient. Which of the following CORRECTLY describes this cotransport of calcium and sodium?a. primary active transport by an antiporterb. primary active transport by a symporterc. secendory active transport by a symporter
d. secendory active transport by an antiporter

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

Two species regularly come into contact and form hybrids that have higher fitness than either of the parental species. What are
joja [24]

Answer:

hybridization is categorized as crossing organisms that have different traits to bring together the best of each. However, this can come with some post-zygotic barriers.

Reduced hybrid viability: hybrid offspring does not survive

Reduced hybrid fertility: hybrid offspring cannot reproduce

hybrid breakdown: first generation of hybrids are viable and fertile, however, their offspring (generation 3) are sterile.

What are the general features of organic compounds?
kolezko [41]

The features or characteristics  of organic compounds include:

1. They contain covalent bonds and are mostly non polar in nature

2. Have lower boiling and melting points than inorganic compounds

3. Many organic compounds are thermally unstable, They decompose  into simpler molecules when heated at fairly  high temperatures

4.  Most organic compounds are inflammable and burn exothermically in sufficient air  to yield carbon dioxide, water and heat energy.

5. Most organic compounds being largely non polar are  insoluble in water.

A student made a model of a cell. First, she filled a clear plastic bag with gelatin.
Ksivusya [100]
B) the model does not show that cells can contain smaller structures inside.

This is true because only a rubber ball was added, indicating that only a nucleus or any one organelle is present in a cell. However, the cell contains more than one organelle from the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, and more.

Another possible answer would be D since they model does not show the process of cellular respiration where cells undergo this process to create ATP in the mitochondria.

Describe the relationship between organic compounds, nucleotides, RNA, and a universal genetic code.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Organic compounds→ nucleotides→ RNA→ universal code.

Organic compounds are the compounds made by living organisms with at least one molecule of carbon linked to different elements like hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen.for example: nucleotides.

A nucleotide is the monomer units of nucleic acids- DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide is made up of organic compounds- sugar, a phosphate molecule and nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil).  

The arrangement of nitrogenous bases in DNA decides the fate of proteins as the sequence of these bases acts as code arranged in the triplet called "codons" which code for specific amino acids.

Thus, Organic compounds→ nucleotides→ RNA→ universal code is the correct answer.
