Why does active transport require energy to move molecules of a substance across a cell membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Active transport requires energy because it is not a passive process. The molecule has to go against the concentration gradient. Hence it requires energy to be carried by the carrier proteins.

The energy is used is ATP, which comes from respiration

Leachate

In the MSW (municipal solid waste) landfill, contaminated water from wastes is known as leachate. Leachate is the contaminated liquid (water) produced when percolating liquid, especially rainwater drains through wastes that are placed in a landfill. When the liquid enters wastes, it separates or filters out constituents from the wastes which result in the formation of leachate.

In response to seasonal changes in temperature, many organisms must alter the composition of their plasma membranes to maintain
katrin [286]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

The cell membrane is essentially composed of the following:

  • phospholipids
  • cholesterol
  • proteins

The phospholipid consists of a <em>hydrophilic </em>phosphate 'head' and the tail is the <em>hydrophobic</em> fatty acid chain.When cellular membranes form,phospholipids collect into two layers in light of these hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The phosphate heads in each layer face the fluid or watery condition on either side, and the tails conceal away from the water between the layers of heads, since they are hydrophobic.

There are 3 main factors that greatly influence the fluidity of the plasma membrane:

  • temperature
  • cholesterol
  • saturated and unsaturated fatty acids

A grizzly bear's diet consist of both plants and animals as it relies on the food it eats for energy consuptions. It is incapable of producing energy with photosythesis, hence it is not a producer.
