Biology

Answer:

D (proteins moving ions from low to high concentration across a cell membrane)

Explanation:

Active transport, by definition, is a type of substance transport that requires energy (typically in the form of ATP). Having said that, we can immediately eliminate B (aka water diffusion throughout the cytoplasm of a cell), as diffusion (osmosis in this case) does not require any expenditure/spending of energy. Next, we can cancel A and C because although they do require energy, there is no transport involved. Thus that leaves us with D. D is not only the answer because of the process of elimination but also b/c the ans. choice says that ions are being moved from low to high concentration, which is against the concentration gradient and thus requires energy. Hope you found this helpful! :)

Alina [70]
A positive choice to make to impact one's health is to simply wake up in the morning and get ready, and take time on yourself. That will ensure that you appreciate yourself and will give you a positive mentality throughout the day.

A negative choice to make to impact one's health is to constantly over-think situations, causing stress and an unhealthy state of mind.

spin [16.1K]
This has something to do with winter seasons. You see, during winter days, <span>the sun is further down in the sky, so the same circle of sunlight covers a wider area, so there is less light per plant. In this case, those plants that are pointing straight at the sun have higher chances of growing better. Hope this answers your question.</span>

A food chain or food web can provide good information including _____. how much energy is transferred from one organism to anoth
Artemon [7]

Answer: A food chain or food web provide information on the eating patterns of organisms, how energy is transfered from one organisms to another and the flow if energy in the ecosystem.

Explanation:

Food chain is the link of network that that starts from producer to the consumer and finally ends at the predator species and decomposer species in the ecosystem. It describe the feeding relationships among organisms.

Food web contains interconnection of several food chains in the ecosystem. It shows several feeding relationships in food chains .

Both food chain and food web provide information of how organisms are interconnected, their eating patterns, how energy is transferred from one organisms to another and flow of energy in the ecosystem.
