What impacts do you think the burmese pythons might have on local ecosystem

Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago

Introduction of burmese pythons to a local ecosystem can have grave consequences, as has been proven in Florida. Burmese pythons are skilled predators, and they are not easily killed by other animals. If introduced to a climate they can thrive in, they will start hunting local animals. With little to no predators capable of killing them, they will flourish because of plentiful food supply, and they will continue to increase in number. They will decrease the level of animals directly below them in the food chain, which will then increase the number of animals and plants that had previously been eaten by the python's new food. 

Basically, don't mess with food chains! :)

Answer:

Active transport:

  • requires energy
  • molecules move from low to high concentration sides
  • Na+ and K+ move by active transport

Simple diffusion:

  • molecules move from high to low concentration sides
  • molecules pass between lipids
  • small non-polar and polar molecules

Facilitated diffusion:

  • molecules move from high to low concentration sides
  • involves channel proteins
  • move large molecules

Explanation:  

  • Simple Diffusion is the pathway of only small molecules that freely move through the membrane by momentary openings produced by the lipids' movements. Diffusion is a slow process that requires short distances and pronounced concentration gradients to be efficient. An example of diffusion is osmosis by which water is the transported molecule.
  • Facilitated diffusion is the transport of hydrophilic molecules that can not freely cross the membrane. Channel protein and many carrier proteins are in charge of this transport. When uncharged molecules cross the membrane, they do it according to their concentration gradients, going from the more concentrated side to the lower concentrated one. When ions need to cross the membrane, the process depends on an electrochemical gradient.  Glucose is an example of a hydrophilic protein that gets into the cell by facilitated diffusion.

Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are both passive transport processes because they only depend on electrochemical gradients, so they do not need any energy to occur.

  • Active transport is the transport of molecules that move against the electrochemical gradient, so it does need energy to happen. Molecules move from the lower concentration side to the higher concentration side of the membrane. Carrier proteins are in charge of active transport. The needed energy might proceed from the ATP molecules or the membrane's electric potential. An example of molecules moved by active transport are the Na and K.
