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.

In which phase of the cell cycle do cells grow and synthesize new proteins and organelles?
Kazeer [188]
G1 phase is the phase of the cell cycle that cells grow and synthesize new proteins and organelles.

G1 phase is the phase between the completion of the mitosis and the beginning of the DNA synthesis in the S phase. In this phase, protein synthesis and production of organelles happen.

Which statement represents a fact about the rock cycle?
GuDViN [60]

The answer is : The rock cycle is driven by energy from the Sun as well as from the interior of Earth. The sun provides energy for surface processes such as weathering, erosion, and transport. This is the one of the major source of energy for the rock cycle. Weathering happens when there is a interaction with the air, water and organism which cause the rock to break down, and the pieces of rock are carried away by wind, moving water, etc. through erosion.

Which correctly lists the three parts of soil that are classified by their particle size? bedrock, humus, and clay clay, bedrock
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Sand, clay, and silt

Explanation:

The categorization of soil particles by size can be made into three classes including sand (particle size between 0.05 mm to 2 mm), silt, (particle sizes between 0.002 mm to 0.05 mm) and clay (particle sizes lesser than 0.002 mm), larger particles such as stones, pebbles, boulders and rock other fragments are left out of the textural classification because of their inertness

The combination of the three particle sizes can be found in most soils and their relative proportion defines the texture of a given sample of soil.

Explain why using different seed types along with different water temperatures is an improper experimental design.
Darya [45]

Answer:

Because each subject in an experiment has to have equal conditions to ensure the most accurate results. And water temperature is known to impact plant growth. An experiment using different water temperatures is a terribly inaccurate experiment.
