What happens in active transport that makes it so different than diffusion

Biology
1 answer:
Sav [38]4 years ago
6 0

Although both use a carrier proteins, however facilitated diffusion moves down a concentration gradient rather than against one like active transport, so it doesn't require metabolic energy. Hope this helps out

How do magnetic stripes of iron in ocean rock provide evidence of seafloor spreading
STatiana [176]

Answer:

In the 1960s, scientists found evidence that new material is indeed erupting along mid-ocean ridges. The scientists dived to the ocean floor in Alvin, a small submarine built to withstand the crushing pressures four kilometers down in the ocean. In a ridge’s central valley, Alvin’s crew found strange rocks shaped like pillows or like toothpaste squeezed from a tube. Such rocks form only when molten material hardens quickly after erupting under water. These rocks showed that molten material has erupted again and again along the mid-ocean ridge.

When scientists studied patterns in the rocks of the ocean floor, they found more support for sea-floor spreading. You read earlier that Earth behaves like a giant magnet, with a north pole and a south pole. Surprisingly, Earth’s magnetic poles have reversed themselves many times during Earth’s history. The last reversal happened 780,000 years ago. If the magnetic poles suddenly reversed themselves today, you would find that your compass needle points south.

Explanation:

I found this somewhere.

What are some negatives and some positives of coastal development?
zzz [600]

Answer:  Positive: Coastal areas help prevent erosion; filter pollutants; and provide food, shelter, breeding areas, and nursery grounds for a wide variety of organisms.

Negative: Added to this are impacts such as increased erosion due to coastal development, increased pollution, and increased boat traffic - all of which lead to further habitat loss and put increased pressure on marine species. ... Other coastal developments can also harm sensitive marine habitats and species.

Ouabain is a poison that binds to the na+/k+ pump in the cell membrane and inhibits its action. the expected result of this pois
Deffense [45]
The expected result of this poison on secondary active transport is that the poison will prevents the conformational changes which are necessary for the pump to perform its function, thus preventing it from been able to carry out transportation of ions in and out of the cell.
