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

Biology
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]3 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

Why would you learn less about an organism if it is were isolated from its surroundings than if you were able to observe the sam
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

this one`s been up for debate for awhile now.

1. it depends on the organism

learning about an organism could be considered 'easier' to study in different ways. for example, if you are studying marine life, you will most likely have to keep it in a water habitat to watch it alive. If you are studying a land species, then watching from it`s natural habitat will give you more accurate results. sometimes the environment can affect an organisms internal systems more than you may think. this leads into my second point.

2. it depends on what you are trying to study

if you are trying to learn about the mating process, seasonal activity, migration, or external behavior, then monitoring it from it`s natural habitat or an area that is a close copy is your best option. but if you are looking into studying internal organs/systems or cells, then in <em>most</em> cases, the organism will need to be taken out of its natural habitat. only in very careful situations is it left in a habitat during examination.

True or false: Theoretically, it is possible (but very difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while.
Debora [2.8K]

It is true that it is possible for a population to not evolve for a while.

There is something called the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, which characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving.

There are 5 Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:

  • no mutation
  • random mating
  • no gene flow
  • infinite population size
  • and no selection (natural nor forced).

You can see that some of these are kinda extreme and really hard to get, but with approximations, we can work.

For example, instead of an "infinite population size" we have enough with a really large population, such that genetic drift is negligible.

Concluding, yes, it is possible (but really difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while (at least, in nature), as long as the 5 assumptions above are met.
