When does the cell have to use active transport?

Biology

The best answer is D.

In active transport, molecules move against a concentration gradient from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. This happens a lot in neurons. The membrane proteins are constantly pumping ions in and out  to get the membrane of the neuron ready to transmit electrical impulses.

In active transport , energy is required to move molecules across the cell membrane. Carrier proteins are needed for this e.g. proteins of the GLUT family which transport glucose molecules across the cell membrane. Carrier proteins are very specific. GLUT proteins will only move glucose molecules and not sodium or calcium. There are hundreds of types of carrier proteins.

How does one prevent such a fire from happening​
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

water

Explanation:

Water puts out fire by creating a barrier between the fuel source and the oxygen source (it also has a cooling effect which has to do with the energy required to convert liquid water into water vapor). It does this because it is a completely, 100% oxidized material. It simply cannot oxidize any further so it will not “burn”. This smothers the fire. The same thing would happen if you used the ashes that remained after a completely spent fire. Or, as I mentioned before, CO2.
