What is a major difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?

1 answer:

4 0

Here are the main points that make difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport are : facilitated diffusion goes from high to low - deffuse in a selectively permeable membrane and does not demand energy. What about active transport - it uses energy and moves against gradient- low to high. Hope it will help!

In the Earth's mantle, heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents,

yarga [219]

Answer:

D. hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Explanation:

We know that as we move towards Earth's center, the temperature rises. This rise in temperature causes rocks to melt (magma). The high temperature and melting of rocks decrease the density of material which makes it move upward. By moving upward, the molten rock starts turning solid and becomes denser again. Here, it sinks back due to gravity. This upward and downward movement of rocks due to density and temperature makes a convection cell.

PS: The formation of convection cells in Earth's interior is also the reason for plate tectonics.

Is the statement "I joined the science club to make my parents happy" intrinsic motivation

Bess [88]

Depends on whether the person is talking to themselves, or someone else.
If they are talking to themselves, it is indeed intrinsic motivation, as they are convincing themselves they are also happy and motivated to join the science club as it makes their parents happy.
If they are talking to someone else, it would not be intrinsic motivation. This is because they are merely telling someone that they're doing something to make their parents happy.
As it is a statement, on the whole I would say, no. It is not intrinsic motivation.

Trisomy 21 can be caused by nondisjunction of chromosome 21, or by inheriting a Robertsonian fusion of chromosome 21 attached to

OLga [1]

Answer:

6 in total; 3 viable and 3 non-viable

Explanation:

Robertsonian translocation is one of the types of structural alteration in chromosomes, in other words, a rearrangement between chromosomes, which can occur between five pairs of acrocentric chromosomes (chromosomes with the centromere close to the end of one of the "arms"): 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22.

An individual who has Robertson's translocation between chromosomes 14 and 21 generally has only 45 chromosomes.

In addition, a carrier of this type of translocation can theoretically produce 6 types of gametes, however 3 of them are not viable.

As for the three remaining gametes: One is normal, and among the other two, one is balanced and the last is unbalanced.

So, theoretically, when combining a normal gamete, the probability of a child with down syndrome being born through these conditions is 1/3 (considering that the probability of producing a certain type of gamete is equal for the three types).

Pavel [41]

(c) One corollary of the second law of thermodynamics states that the change in entropy of a closed system must be greater than zero or equal to zero. (d) A closed system can experience an increase in entropy only when irreversibilities are present within the system during the process.
