Describe the different examples of active and passive transport

Hi there!

Active Transport - Through the use of ATP, active transport pumps molecules against a particular concentration gradient. Active transport occurs from a low concentration solute and moves to a high concentration of solute. Two examples of active transport would be endocytosis and exocytosis.

Passive Transport - Active transport is the movement of molecules down a gradient. Unlike passive transport, it goes from high to low concentration and does not require energy (such as cellular energy). Some examples would be osmosis and diffusion.

I hope this helped!

During the process of photosynthesis, plants use energy from the Sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen

Well, we can rule out diffusion and osmosis because these are passive processes, so we're left with A and C. I'd say A, because the energy is used in muscle contraction.

kirill115 [55]
Its definitely not A or D because there are 26 weeks in 6 months.

generally, a weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week is reasonable and safe. 

I would say B because it is unrealistic that someone would always lose 2lbs a week

In an electrochemical cell, q = 0.0010 and k = 0.10. what can you conclude about ecell and e∘cell? in an electrochemical cell, =
Iteru [2.4K]
If there is electrochemical cell where Q = 0.0010 and K = 0.10 then the truth about Ecell and E°cell is,
Ecell is positive and E°cell is negative.
E° = (RT/nF) InQ = (RT/nF) × In(K/Q) = Positive.
Since ( K/Q) = 100 then In(K/Q) = positive
