Why does active transport require energy to move molecules of a substance across a cell membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
Fed [463]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The substance moves from low to high concentration, against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

When molecules move from high to low concentration, it is known as Diffusion. It moves with the concentration gradient and does not require energy.

However, when molecules move from low to high concentration, it is against the concentration gradient and cannot proceed without Energy. This process is called Active transport.

Cell membrane is not thick, it is thin and semi permeable.

The majority of triglyceride digestion occurs in the small intestine facilitated by the enzyme
bixtya [17]

Answer:

pancreatic lipase

Explanation:

Enzymes from pancreas involved in triacylglycerol digestion are called pancreatic lipases and they catalyze the partial hydrolysis of triglycerides into a mixture of free fatty acids and acylglycerols. After digestion of lipids, monoglycerides and fatty acids associate with bile salts and phopholipids to form micelles. Micelles are structures that are necessary for the transport the poorly soluble monoglycerides and fatty acids to the surface of the enterocyte. But, micelles cannot be absorbed by epithelial cell, only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can. Free fatty acids and monogycerids can just diffuse across the plasma membrane because of their nonpolar nature.

 Some absorption (e.g. for cholesterol) may be facilitated by specific transport proteins.

Which phase of mitosis is the last phase that chromatids are together
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Metaphase

Explanation:

The M phase of the cell cycle is the phase during which the nuclear content and cellular content is distributed. The distribution of the nuclear content takes place in four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

The homologous chromosomes are aligned at the equatorial plate during the metaphase after which the chromosomes separate. The phase during which the separation of the chromosomes takes place is known as anaphase so the phase before the anaphase is the phase during which the chromatids are not separated that is the metaphase.

Thus, metaphase is the correct answer.
