Cells must use energy to move a substance against a concentration gradient i.e., from a compartment with a low concentration of

the substance to a compartment with a higher concentration). Which of the following processes would require a cell to expend energy? Choose all of the correct answers a. Transport of sodium ions OUT OF cells b. Transport of sodium ions INTO cells c. Transport of potassium ions OUT OF cells d. Transport of potassium ions INTO cells e. Transport of calcium ions OUT OF cells f. Transport of calcium ions INTO the cytoplasm of a cell from the ECF g. Transport of calcium ions OUT OF the cytoplasm of a cell and INTO an organelle that has a high concentration of calcium ions. h. Transport of calcium ions OUT OF an organelle that has a high concentration of calcium ions and INTO the cytoplasm of a cell.

Answer:

Transport of sodium ions out of the cell

Transport of potassium into the cells

Transport of calcium ions out of cell

Transport of calcium ions OUT OF the cytoplasm of a cell and INTO an organelle that has a high concentration of calcium ions.

Explanation:

In general the concentration of sodium ion is higher outside the cell in the extracellular fluid and the concentration of potassium ion is higher inside the cell.  

During an active transport, a cell uses energy to move molecules against the gradient as a part of primary active transport. In the secondary active transport, the molecules move as per the electrochemical gradient established by the primary active transport.  

In primary active transport, sodium ion moves out of the cell and potassium ion moves into the cell through the assistance of sodium potassium pump. In order to maintain the stability, calcium ion from the sarcoplasmic reticulum is pumped out of the cell

Hence , the correct answers are

Transport of sodium ions out of the cell

Transport of potassium into the cells

Transport of calcium ions out of cell

Transport of calcium ions OUT OF the cytoplasm of a cell and INTO an organelle that has a high concentration of calcium ions.

Why is DNA referred to as the genetic code?<br>​
Gnesinka [82]

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

Two proteins in the same cell perform di erent functions. This is because the two proteins are composed of
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Two proteins that are present inside the same cell perform different functions because both proteins have different amino acid composition.

Explanation:

Amino acid is the building blocks of protein. Different proteins perform different functions due to their composition. These proteins are formed by the instructions given to the ribosome of the cell.

How does the structure of abone make it strong yet lightweight?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:the component materials and their arrangement

Explanation:

Bone are important for movement in animals.bones is made up of 15% water,30% collagen fibres and 55% mineral salts..bone cells are widely separated. The Collagen makes bones soft and flexible. Mineral salts makes it fragile and strong.

The osteogenic cells builds the bones and the osteoclasts breaks down older bone tissue, in order to keep the body strong.

Spongy bones contains tiny spicules that helps in strength.

It also reduces the weight of the bones .

The cells of Compact bones are arranged in the direction of stress to keep the bone strong.

They are constantly changing throughout life
