What is the difference between diffusion and active transport in a cell other than they require energy

Biology
1 answer:
vivado [14]3 years ago
7 0

Both use ion channels to move ions across the cell membrane, in or out of the cell. Differences: Passive Transport (or Diffusion) moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy. Active Transport moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP.

Why do food chains not have an infinite number of links
zhuklara [117]
Food chains don’t have infinite links, because only about 10% of energy is passed upwards in trophic levels. So a mouse could eat 10 grasshoppers, but a hawk would need to eat 100 mouses to get the same energy

just olya [345]

Answer:

D. pigments; starch.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles.

A chromoplast can be defined as a heterogeneous organelle or plastids that is typically responsible for pigment synthesis and their storage in a plant. The pigments include red, orange, yellow or chlorophyll.

On the other hand, leucoplast is a colorless plastid i.e plastic lacking photosynthetic pigments that are typically found in storage organs, underground stems, cotelydons, roots, tubers, seeds, or endosperm etc., used for the storage of starch in the absence of sunlight.

Hence, a chromoplast stores pigments while a leucoplast stores starch.

Which division of the nervous system is the broadest (or most inclusive)?
alexandr1967 [171]
Well the nervous system divides into the central nervous system (CNS) (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (everything else). From there, the CNS divides into the autonomic (ANS) (reflex functions) and the somatic (SNS) (voluntary movement) nervous systems. The ANS subdivides into the sympathetic (SANS) (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (PSNS) (rest and digest) nervous systems. Not sure exactly what the question is referring to, but this is a basic layout of all of the main nervous systems.
