The bottom line difference between passive and active transport through a cell membrane’s is

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Active transport uses energy and passive transport does not

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <u>Passive transport occurs when materials move across cell membranes without using cell energy (ATP). </u> Examples of passive transport include; diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. It moves small molecules like water, oxygen, carbon dioxide and glucose.
  • <em><u>Active transport on the other hand involves the movement of materials across the cell membrane that requires the use of cell energy (ATP)</u></em>.
  • In other words the difference between active transport and passive transport is that passive Transport moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy while active Transport moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP.

First of all the mitochondria is the power house of a cell. Then a chloroplast is one which contains chlorophyll in which photosynthesis takes place.

Plants make use of photosynthesis to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. If the chloroplast is damaged that means the plant would wither but it may not likely die since the mitochondria is unharmed.

What relationship exists between body mass and metabolic rate ?
Alja [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • The body mass index is inversely proportional to the basal metabolic rate.
  • Studies in adult male prove that people with low BMI have high BMR and vice versa.

<u> Explanation:</u>

  • Body Mass Index – is the weight of the person (kg) divided by his/her height \left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\right)
  • Basal Metabolic Rate – is the amount of calories a body needs to fulfill its daily activities.
  • BMR is usually higher in males than in females. It also reduces with increase in age of a person irrespective of gender.

What is the current model of molecular architecture of membranes?
Olin [163]

The current model of plasma membrane structure is fluid-mosaic model. According to fluid-mosaic model, there is a lipid bilayer that gives fluidity to the membrane and in which the protein molecules are embedded.  The membrane is mosaic because there is a pattern of different types of molecules that are put together. Molecules are constantly moving in two dimensions.

Components of the cell membrane include:

• Phospholipids – Form a bilayer  

• Cholesterol –improves stability and reduce fluidity

• Proteins –integral (transmembrane) or peripheral  

• Sugars-usually attached to proteins.

How does an ultrasound produce an image of a fetus in the mother’s uterus?
Elodia [21]
The ultra sound waves coming from the transmitter pass through the body and once they hit a boundary (the baby) they are partially reflected back to the transmitter and the image appears on the screen. The longer the time taken is to reflect, the further away it is, so darker/lighter on the picture.
