A type of cellular transport is shown. Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport? Your answer: A.Osmosis

, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient. B.Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient. C.Facilitated diffusion, because energy is being used to move molecules with the concentration gradient.

Answer:

B.Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

Explanation:

Substances move in and out of living cells through various transport means. Some substances move passively (without energy) while others move actively (with energy). Active transport of substances involves the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient.

Active transport moves against concentration gradient in the sense that the movement occurs from a region which is less concentrated to one which is more concentrated, hence, energy input in form of ATP is required for such transport to occur. This is the case of the cellular transport in the diagram. Therefore, it is an ACTIVE TRANSPORT because energy input (ATP) is required.

Note, Osmosis and facilitated diffusion are types of passive transport that requires no energy to occur.

What role do you think popular belief has on scientific discoveries?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Belief doesn’t have much role in science, except in the sense that nobody can check everything. But science is a set of methods for establishing knowledge that is as good a match as possible to the world we find ourselves in.

Which property of water allows some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in
sergejj [24]

Surface tension is the property of water which allows for some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in. The molecules of water are held together by cohesive forces. The molecules of water present below the surface experience this cohesive force from all the directions, whereas the water molecules present on the surface experience a downward pull, as the force is not balanced. This leads to the concaving of the water surface inside a small tube.

The disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation to the CFTR gene which affects the respiratory, endocrine, reproductive
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: DF508 mutation. A Genetic, Hereditary, Autosomal and Recessive Mutation.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal lethal disease, it is most common on Caucasoid populations. Its diagnosis is suggested by the clinical features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persistent pulmonary colonization (particularly with mucoid Pseudomonas strains), meconium ileus, pancreatic insufficiency with or familiarity history of the disease. The FC gene is large, with about 250 Kb of genomic DNA, 27 exons representing about 5% of genomic DNA; encodes a 6.5 kb transcribed mRNA. This mRNA is transcribed into a protein of 1480 amino acid called CFTR (Regulator Transmembrane Conductance Cystic Fibrosis). When a three-base pair deletion, adenosine-thymine-thymine (ATT) identified in the CFTR gene, exon 10, it results in the loss of a single amino acid phenylalanine at position 508 of the protein. This mutation is called DF508; “D” stands for deletion and “F” for phenylalanine amino acid.

Which of the following might you use to help you make observations?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Touching, Smelling.

Explanation:

Touching will be useful to detect stimuli like coldness and hotness.

Smelling on the other hand will help to make observations on smell and change in smell. These two are among the five senses that we use to make observations as we record what we see, hear, touch and feel, smell and taste.
