This question seems to be incomplete because the experiment is not described but it is possible to answer it.

The correct answer is B. Redi disproved spontaneous generation.

Explanation:

Francesco Redi was an important scientist during the 17th century known for his experiments about maggots in rotten meat. This is because during Redi's time it was believed rotten meat was the origin of maggots because maggots seemed to emerge from this. Additionally, this perception was related to the spontaneous generation or the idea life can emerge from non-living materials. The results of this experiment show the idea about spontaneous generation was not true in the case of meat and maggots because maggots were simply the result of eggs flies laid on rotten meat. This means this experiment disproved spontaneous generation.

This type of membrane transport moves substances against the concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to an area

sashaice [31]

Answer:- Active transport

Explanation:-

There are two types of membrane transports

1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from high concetration to low concentration.

2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from low concentration to high concentration.

The active transport is of two types:

1. Primary active transport- in this type of transport ATP is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.

2.Secondary active transport - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.

The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as carrier proteins. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.

So, the active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.
