1 answer:

3 0

In driving a vehicle, the crash risk potential is approximately 4 times greater after dark than during the daylight hours according to the US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. This is due to the reduced visibility of the streets at night as well as direct bright light shining to drivers' eyes by the vehicles going the opposite way. This is also increased when there is heavy rain which further reduces the visibility.

What is a protein channel?

aliya0001 [1]

<span>Protein channels are needed to transport substances because it accelerates the transport process. Very few substances enter or leave cells without being attached to a transport protein. Different types of substances require different types of proteins to transport them. Protein channels transport water or ions downwards and ATP-powered pumps transport molecules or ions upwards. ATP generates energy to transport the molecules upwards. Gravity is used to transport the water molecules downwards. So, in a nutshell, if substances need to be transported from the top of the body downward, the force of gravity is used to transport the substances down. If substances need to be transported upwards, ATP, a coenzyme, is used to generate energy to transport the substance upwards</span>
