Answer:

Active transport requires energy from ATP while facilitated diffusion does not

Explanation:

Active transport and facilitated diffusion with the use of channel and carrier proteins are both ways by which ions, polar and large molecules cross a selectively permeable membrane.

The major difference is that; Active transport transport these particles from a low to high concentration, which is against concentration gradient and hence, energy is required to perform the task

Facilitated diffusion transport from a high to low concentration, which is through a concentration gradient and hence, no energy is required to perform the task.

Site-specific recombination systems _________. Multiple Choice do not depend on extensive nucleotide sequence homology depend on

professor190 [17]

Site-specific recombination systems all of the choices are correct i.e.

A. do not depend on extensive nucleotide sequence homology.

B. depend on enzymes that are often specific for sequences within the host.

C. are features of some viruses.

An exchange between two specified sequences (target sites), either on the same DNA molecule or on two separate DNA molecules, is known as site-specific recombination.
DNA sequences may be integrated, excised, or inverted as a result of the exchange.
A site-specific recombinase that can work by itself or with the aid of additional components or enzymes shapes the DNA target during recombination.
The recombinase is chemically bonded to the ends of the intermediate DNA after DNA breakage at the recombination site; when this process is reversed, the intermediate DNA is resealed to form the recombinant and the recombinase is released.
During this recombination process, neither replication nor repair are necessary.

Health insurance companies could potentially use genetic information for client discrimination if it were made publicly availabl

galben [10]

It is true that the Health insurance companies could potentially use genetic information for client discrimination if it were made publicly available. In order to make this impossible to happen, The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act was passed, that ensures to protect the people from genetic discrimination.

When the employers in a company is aware about the genetic makeup of the people then they might discriminate people if they have any type of disorders.

Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers.

Evapotranspiration is the sum of water evaporation and transpiration from a surface area to the atmosphere.
