Explanation:

(3) active transport

The molecules would be moving against their concentration gradient from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.

While cells facilitate the transport of molecules via movement across the cell membrane, there many different mechanisms. These include passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion,  and passive transport. However some very large molecules require specialized type of active transport, which requires energy in the form of ATP, in order to move substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient.

Active transport is a mediated process that requires an energy input and the use of specialized membrane proteins to move against the concentration gradient. These proteins require energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate or ATP in order to facilitate necessary conformational changes to the large protein molecules to alter the spatial location of the molecule. For instance, with Na+, K+ pumps in cell membranes.

List three examples of daily activities that affect homeostasis.
Tcecarenko [31]
<span>The three daily activities that affect homeostasis include;
Temperature, glucose levels, ability lymphatic system.
 Homeostasis is the tendency of organisms to auto-regulate and also maintain an internal environment within a stable state. The stable condition is when the optimal functioning of organisms and dependant on many variables.
 For example, fluid balance and body temperature to be kept within certain preset limits. PH of extracellular fluid, potassium, calcium ions and concentration of sodium and blood sugar levels are also variables.
 It is needed to be regulated despite the diet, environment, level of activities. They are controlled by homeostatic mechanisms which when comes together maintains life.</span>

What would happen if the bases in DNA strands were connected by a bond other than a hydrogen bond?
tekilochka [14]
The correct answer is It would be more difficult for DNA to unzip since it would require more energy to break the bonds.

That is because it would most probably be a covalent bond and such a bond is stronger than a hydrogen bond which means that more energy would be needed to break it.

Ratling [72]
Answer - A
Semi-conservative model of replication involves the replication of DNA in all the familiar cells in such a way that each newly synthesized daughter cell contains a double helix with one new strand and one old strand.
