One type of active transport is called cotransport. In cotransport, the energy available from an ion moving through a transport

protein down its electrochemical gradient is coupled with the movement of another solute (small polar molecule or ion) through the same protein but against its concentration or electrochemical gradient. The solute that is being transported against its gradient may move into the cell or out of the cell (but not both), depending on the type of transport protein that catalyzes this process. Before beginning this tutorial, watch the clip of the Membrane Transport animation showing cotransport of sodium and glucose.
Which statement accurately summarizes a feature of passive transport?
a- It makes the cell interior and exterior more different from one another.
b- It is a spontaneous process.
c- It involves no change in entropy.
d- No membrane proteins are involved.

Answer:

b- It is a spontaneous process.

Explanation:

Passive transport is the type of transport of substances across the plasma membrane that occurs without energy expenditure and occurs spontaneously. There is no energy expenditure during passive transport because substances naturally move from the more concentrated to the less concentrated medium, ie in favor of the concentration gradient.

Substance transport occurs until concentrations inside and outside the cell are equalized.

According to this conceptualization we can conclude that the correct answer to your question is the letter B.

10. Which of the following statements best describes the major difference between anaphase of mitosis and anaphase I of meiosis?
umka2103 [35]
The answer will be A because mitosis usually separate the sister chromatids to sister chromosomes to form two diploid cells. In meiosis, the goal is to have four haploid cells. To form that, cells need to undergo cell division two times. In the case of meiosis I, sister chromatids stay joined together until it reaches meiosis II. Then, the sister chromatids will separate starting at anaphase II in meiosis II. For example, if you start with 92 chromosomes (46 chromatids) during meiosis I, at meiosis II you will have two cells with 46 chromosomes (23 chromatids). By the end of meiosis II, you should form 4 haploid cells that contains 23 chromosomes.

Plant life first appeared on land during which of the following periods?
marusya05 [52]

The correct answer is B. Ordovician period

Explanation:

Plants are mainly multicellular organism that depends mainly on photosynthesis to obtain energy, this includes a wide variety of species such as grass, flowering plants, trees, shrubs, etc. Additionally, plants are considered as one f the two major divisions or kingdoms along with animals. In terms of history, it has been determined first land plants appear during the mid-Ordovician period around 470 million ago, although organisms that were the origin of land plants developed in water in previous periods, also by the Devonian period a wide variety of plants have emerged with features that are still part of plants nowadays. Therefore, plant life first appeared on land during the Ordovician period.
