The movement of molecules against the gradient from low concentration to high concentration using ATP

Bogdan [553]

It is also possible to move substances across membranes against their concentration gradient (from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration). ... If the energy of ATP is directly used to pump molecules against their concentration gradient, the transport is called primary active transport.

Complete question: The chart shows the movement of a ball after several seconds.

Column A is on the x-axis, and Column B is on the y-axis. Which titles should replace A and B?

a. Column A should be “Time,” and Column B should be “Position.”

b. Column A should be “Position,” and Column B should be “Time.”

c. Column A should be “Velocity,” and Column B should be “Speed.”

d. Column A should be “Speed,” and Column B should be “Velocity.”

Answer:

Column A should be "Time," and Column B should be "Position"

Explanation:

In general, the first column always refers to the x-axis, this is the independent variables. While the second column refers to the y-axis, the dependent variables.

Option A) names Time and Position to the columns. This seems to be correct as time is an independent variable, while the ball position depends on time. The x-axes is named "time", and the Y-axes is named "ball position".

Option B) is not possible because the Position is not the independent variable, and time is not the dependent variable.

Option C) and D) are not possible, as both of them are variables that depend on time.

An enzyme that breaks DNA, dispels the tension, and reseals the strand ahead of a DNA replication growing fork is called a(n):

qaws [65]

Answer:

Topoisomerase

Explanation:

Topoisomerases are enzymes that produce changes in the topology of the DNA during replication, transcription, traduction, or reparation processes. They can cut one or both strands and in order to relieve torsional stresses in the supercoiled structure of DNA. With this, they help to maintain the chromosome's integrity. There are two types of topoisomerases: topoisomerase I (it cuts only one strand of DNA) and topoisomerase II (it is able to cut both strands of DNA).
