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

konstantin123 [22]
When energy passes from one trophic level to the next, I would guess that the two factors which decrease the total amount of energy from being passed up are: 
1. An organism does not assimilate all the energy of food consumed. Within a consumer, digestion and assimilation of energy is not 100% efficient: some of the energy is lost.
2. A large proportion of energy assimilated by a producer and consumer is lost through respiration, i.e., day-to-day maintenance of metabolic processes.
