Answer:

B (active transport using ATP)

Explanation:

Movement of substances normally occur in the direction of concentration gradient/difference i.e. the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane. Letting molecules diffuse or pass down their concentration gradient does not require energy but pumping those molecules against gradient requires energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is called Active transport.

In order to perform certain cellular processes, cells need to move substances from their surroundings into the cell across their cell membrane. Moving this substances against the concentration gradient between the cell membrane and its extracellular fluid requires energy (ATP).

An example is the sodium-pottasium pump employed by animal cells in which they expend energy to move K+ molecules into the cell and Na+ molecules outside the cell against the concentration gradient of their cell membrane and extracellular solution.

What happens to an enzyme if the temperature varies too far from the enzyme's optimum (or best) temperature?
Fantom [35]
If the temperature is too low, enzyme molecules don’t have enough kinetic energy to collide and combine with other substrate molecules. So the enzyme activity/ reaction rate will be very low. The rate will rise again once the temperature increases to its optimum temperature.

But if the temperature is too high, enzyme will be denatured, which means the shape of the active site of the enzyme is changed. It can no long combine with other substrate molecules. The rate will drop significantly. Yet, lowering the temperature won’t help because denaturation is permanent and irreversible.

When you break down maple syrup into smaller units, these units are called
victus00 [196]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

a. nucleotides b. monosaccharides c. RNA d. triglycerides

The answer is B. Monosaccharides

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are the simplest units of carbohydrates. They contain one units of sugar, hence, are commonly called simple sugars. Monosaccharides include glucose, fructose etc. They contain basically carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements in their structure.

Maple syrup is a syrup majorly composed of carbohydrates used generally as a sweetening purposes. It is extracted from trees of sugar maple and other maple species. Since the syrup is principally composed of sugar (carbohydrate), it is broken down to the simplest unit of any carbohydrate molecule called MONOSACCHARIDE.

What will happen to the food web if all primary consumers became extinct?
kap26 [50]
The producers would grow more food to be eaten but the secondary/tertiary etc consumers would have nothing to eat and so numbers would drop on that side
