When movement occurs against the concentration gradient (low to high), this requires Active Transport.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Substances moving against the concentration gradient, from a lower concentration area to a higher concentration area requires an active transport. It is termed as  “active” since there is a requirement of energy usage. This process is in contrast with that of a passive transport. Active transport needs carrier proteins for assistance.

Both active transport and facilitated diffusion requires proteins for assistance in transport process. The difference is that, active transport always takes place against the concentration gradient, thereby moving the substances from lower concentration area to a higher concentration area. The types of proteins that are used for transport will not be same.

Tresset [83]

Population density is the aspect of population ecology of the black-tailed prairie dog does this statement describe.

Explanation:

Population density is the number of organisms are there in per unit area. It is used to measure geographical area occupied by organisms and its statistics.

In population ecology the structure, dynamics and contribution of population of species is studied. The idea of species distribution is studied in it.

The population density determines the number of species or members of particular population are present is a particular area.

An area of  low density population will have more resources and more area per organism and less competition for resources and vice versa for high density population.

Prairie dogs have 12 adults per hectare of area this tells the population density of the rodents.
