<span>When a bone breaks your body immediately begins working to heal it. Within the first hours of a fracture a blood clot forms around the break and special cells call phagocytes begin cleaning germs from the bone fragments. Then, a soft callus composed of collagen is created around the break. Next, a hard callus forms as osteoblast cells work to create new bone to aid in the reconstruction process. After all is said and done the bone is remodeled by cells called osteoclasts. The bone will be completely rebuilt in 3-9 years.</span>

Proton pumps embedded in the cell membrane use ATP to move hydrogen ions across the membrane. Which of the following best descri
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Although protons resemble other positive ions such as Na+ and K+ in their movement across membranes, in some respects they are unique. Hydrogen atoms are by far the most abundant type of atom in living organisms; they are plentiful not only in all carbon-containing biological molecules, but also in the water molecules that surround them. The protons in water are highly mobile, flickering through the hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules by rapidly dissociating from one water molecule to associate with its neighbor, Protons are thought to move across a protein pump embedded in a lipid bilayer in a similar way: they transfer from one amino acid side chain to another, following a special channel through the protein.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, let's understand some terms

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to proceed. Under normal condition, when the activation energy is high, it takes longer for the reaction to proceed than when it is low.

The burning of marshmallow is an exothermic reaction as it involves the transfer of heat energy into the environment.
