In active transport, materials move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration (goes down the concentration gradient) and it requires or uses energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)

In the mode of transport known as active transport, materials, including molecules and other substances move from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration, or the flow of particulates is against the concentration gradient of the cell. Due to this alternate movement of substances that is different from passive transport, energy is required for the transport of said particles. The form of energy can come from many different sources whether it be the proton motive force, and ATP. Specifically carrier proteins help assist in the movement of certain particles that cannot easily bypass the plasma membrane of a cell.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) Ethyl alcohol is produced.</em>

Explanation:

Fermentation can be described as a process by which energy is extracted by organisms such as bacteria and yeast.

Sugars are converted into alcohol by this metabolic process occurring in certain microorganisms. There are two main types of fermentation:

Fermentation which takes place in the presence of oxygen is termed as aerobic fermentation.

The process of fermentation which occurs in the absence of oxygen is termed as anaerobic respiration.

Hence, as alcohol will be produced from both types of fermentation, optic C is correct.

Answer:

450 kilocalories.

Explanation:

Since only 1/10th of the energy that an organism consumes is passed onto the next level of the pyramid, that would mean only 500/10 = 50 kilocalories are passed on, and the remaining 500 - 50 = 450 kilocalories are used up.

Hope this helped!

ENERGY TRANSFER IN THE ATMOSPHERE:

Atmosphere surrounds the earth made up of different layers of gases such as Argon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Exophere, Thermosphere, Mesophere, Stratosphere, Toposphere

The energy that drives the climate system comes from the Sun. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth it is partially absorbed in different parts of the climate system. The absorbed energy is converted back to heat, which causes the Earth to warm up and makes it habitable. Solar radiation absorption is uneven in both space and time and this gives rise to the intricate pattern and seasonal variation of our climate. To understand the complex patterns of Earth's radiative heating we begin by exploring the relationship between Earth and the Sun throughout the year, learn about the physical laws governing radiative heat transfer, develop the concept of radiative balance, and explore the implications of all these for the Earth as a whole. We examine the relationship between solar radiation and the Earth's temperature, and study the role of the atmosphere and its constituents in that interaction, to develop an understanding of the topics such as the "seasonal cycle" and the "greenhouse effect".


The Sun and its energy.

The Sun is the star located at the center of our planetary system. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. In the Sun's interior, a thermonuclear fusion reaction converts the hydrogen into helium releasing huge amounts of energy. The energy created by the fusion reaction is converted into thermal energy (heat) and raises the temperature of the Sun to levels that are about twenty times larger that of the Earth's surface. The solar heat energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic waves enabling the transfer of heat through a process known as radiation.


Solar radiation occurs over a wide range of wavelengths. However, the energy of solar radiation is not divided evenly over all wavelengths but is rather sharply centered on the wavelength band of 0.2-2 micrometers (μm=one millionth of a meter).


The physics of radiative heat transfer.

Before proceeding to investigate the effect of solar radiation on Earth we should take a moment to review the physical laws governing the transfer of energy through radiation. In particular we should understand the following points:


The radiative heat transfer process is independent of the presence of matter. It can move heat even through empty space.

All bodies emit radiation and the wavelength (or frequency) and energy characteristics (or spectrum) of that radiation are determined solely by the body's temperature.

The energy flux drops as the square of distance from the radiating body.

Radiation goes through a transformation when it encounters other objects (solid, gas or liquid). That transformation depends on the physical properties of that object and it is through this transformation that radiation can transfer heat from the emitting body to the other objects.


Radiation transfer from Sun to Earth.

Properties of Solar radiation: The Sun is located at the center of our Solar System, at a distance of about 150 x 106 kilometers from Earth. With a surface temperature of 5780 K (degrees Kelvin = degrees C + 273.15), the energy flux at the surface of the Sun is approximately 63 x 106 W/m2. This radiative flux maximizes at a wavelength of about 0.5 μm.

Solar radiation on Earth: As the Sun's energy spreads through space its spectral characteristics do not change because space contains almost no interfering matter. However the energy flux drops monotonically as the square of the distance from the Sun. Thus, when the radiation reaches the outer limit of the Earth's atmosphere, several hundred kilometers over the Earth's surface, the radiative flux is approximately 1360 W/m2.
