Passive transport involves movement of substances

Biology
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Passive transport involves movement of substances from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.

Explanation:

Passive transport involves the passage of substances through a semi-permeable membrane, as occurs with transport at the level of cell membranes.

Generally, passive transport occurs with the <u>movement of compounds from the space with the highest concentration of a specific substance to the space with the lowest concentration of the same substance</u>, following the so-called concentration gradient. Theoretically, the gradient tends to disappear when the concentrations of substances have balanced out.

Regarding other options:

<em>     A. </em><u><em>From areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration</em></u><em>.  It is a feature of active transport.</em>

<em>      C. </em><u><em>From areas in which the concentration has reached a balance</em></u><em>.  There is no passive transport</em>

<em>      D. </em><u><em>From areas of differing concentrations with the use of cellular energy</em></u><em>.  Energy use involves active transport.</em>

How is ozone created? Why is there more ozone produced at the equator compared to the poles?
svp [43]
It is formed because of chemical reactions between sunlight and oxygen molecules. More ozone is produced near the equator because the temperature is warmer and the chemical reaction rate goes up.
