The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. endocytosis

B. active transport

C. facilitated diffusion

D. infusion

E. osmosis

Answer:

B. active transport

Explanation:

The neuron cell involves the influx and efflux of the sodium and potassium ions. These ions move through membrane proteins by facilitated diffusion and active transport.

The active transport allows the movement of ions against the concentration gradient that is even if the concentration of ions is higher.

In the given question, although the potassium ions are higher in the cytoplasm of the neuron, the potassium ions can enter the cell through active transport.

Thus, active transport  is correct.

What type of chlorophyll does the reaction center contain
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Chlorophyll "a"

Explanation:

The reaction centers of the photosystem have chlorophyll "a" molecules. The chlorophyll "a" that functions as a reaction center for the photosystem II has absorption maxima at 680 nm and therefore, it is called P680. The reaction center of photosystem I also have chlorophyll "a" molecules that have the absorption peak at 700 nm. The chlorophyll "a" molecules serving as reaction centers transfer the photoexcited electrons to a primary acceptor during the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis.

The main reason that a flock of geese might fly together in V formation in order to avoid capture. True False
ivolga24 [154]
False. They form a V formation so that it will lower their heart rate and make it easier to go longer distances. And when they are in a V formation, it results in wind resistance.
