The sodium-potassium pump establishes concentration gradients:

Biology
1 answer:
irinina [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

The sodium-potassium pump is maybe the most well-known pump in biology, and rightly so as it is extremely important for life.

This pump functions by hydrolysis of ATP for energy, and by doing so <em>pumps 3 Na+ molecules to the extracellular space and 2 K+ molecules to the intracellular space.</em> This creates a higher sodium concentration outside the cell and a higher one inside the cell.

This gradient has several functions, such as helping maintain electrochemical neutrality and providing the adequate gradient of cations for signal transduction in neurons, to name a few.

Label all of the components of this DNA structure with the following terms: Phosphate sugar backbone, nitrogenous base, hydrogen
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Phosphate sugar backbone:                                                                                              

The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.

Nitrogenous base:                                                                                              

Nitrogen bases are the molecules that make up the steps of the ladders. There are four different nitrogen bases, namely; Guanine, Thymine,Adenine and Cytosine.

Pyrimidines are compounds that make a single 6-sided ring. Examples of pyrimidines are Cytosine and Thymine.

Purines on the other hand make 5-sided and 6-sided rings. Examples of purines are Guanine and Adenine.

The nitrogen bases are helped together through hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen Bonds:

A weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.

Paraphin [41]
Selective breeding

In selective breeding, the desired genes from one organism are combined with genes of another organism, resulting in a new combination of genes.
The selective breeding is quite voluntary and is not necessarily natural or congenital. It is the act of how people or individuals can choose traits in the gene pool of their choice  to produce their desired or goal organism in the process. This trait is influenced in the host of the specific sperm and egg cell which makes up the chromosomes.
