Answer

The ATP molecule is necessary in this type of transport due to the particles are moving against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

ATP is needed for many functions that require energy, and one of them is active transport across the cell membrane.

Unlike passive transport, where particles move along the concentration gradient, active transport -which uses the energy of ATP- is characterized by mobilizing particles against the concentration gradient.

The cell membrane is semi-permeable, so some substances cannot pass freely, requiring transporters to be able to pass through it.

Other options are not true for:

A. A charged particle can move through a channel specific to it.

C. There is no particle entrapment in the plasma membrane.

D. Particles do not move in favor of a concentration gradient.

Name the process responsible for the formation of glomerular filtrate

STatiana [176]

Answer: Please refer to:

The process by which glomerular filtration occurs is called renal ultrafiltration. The force of hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus (the force of pressure exerted from the pressure of the blood vessel itself) is the driving force that pushes filtrate out of the capillaries and into the slits in the nephron.

Which describes gas exchange in the respiratory system?

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The alveolar membrane- is where gas exchange between the blood and the atmosphere takes place. The gas molecules must diffuse across the alveolar epithelium and the capillary endothelium. ... Thus, the alveolar surface (as well as the respiratory bronchioles) have no cilia or mucus layer.

In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through ?A) an effect

Tasya [4]

Answer:

C) an interneuron

Explanation:

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action. In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through an interneuron because an interneuron enables communications (i.e a pathway for information passage) between a sensory neuron and motor neuron. They play vital roles in reflex actions, neuronal oscillations, neurogenesis in an adult mammalian vertebrate brain.
