Describe the different examples of active and passive transport

Biology
1 answer:
andrew11 [14]3 years ago

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!

Which list best describes the events that would lead to the layering of sedimentary rocks in this diagram?
ser-zykov [4K]
I couldn't find a diagram but was able to find the terms erosion and deposition and using these terms, first there is erosion or the wearing away away of the rock in place be it pre-existing igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rock, then transportation often to a delta or flood-plain or basin, and then deposition of sand silt and clay and then consolidation into rock and diagenesis which involves compaction and the removal of water.

In order to see an absorbance peak in an ir spectrum, the molecule must ___________.
Arte-miy333 [17]
<span>The answer is b. have a change in dipole moment

When a molecule absorbs an infrared ray, its energy will increase. The energy will increase the rotational movement or the molecule. If the energy increases further, it will become the vibrational movement. Dipole moment will be increased if the vibrational movement is increased.</span>

Which best describes oogenesis and spermatogenesis?
pochemuha
The answer is <span>B. In both oogenesis and spermatogenesis, the cells become haploid after meiosis I.

Gametogenesis is a process in which gametes are produced. Oogenesis is a process in which egg cells are produced and spermatogenesis is a process in which sperm cells are produced. Both processes include meiosis.
Original diploid cell (primary oocyte or spermatogonium) has 46 chromosomes. After meiosis I, there are two haploid cells. After meiosis II, there are 4 haploid cells because meiosis II is similar to mitosis. The difference between spermatogenesis and oogenesis is that those 4 cells after meiosis II in spermatogenesis are all sperm cells, and in oogenesis only one of them is egg cell.</span>

What are all the possible sources of genetic variation in sexuaally repdoucing organisms?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Mutation, Gene flow/Migration/Immigration of gene and Recombination

Explanation:

For any species there are majorly three sources of genetic variations –  

a) Mutation – This leads to change in the genetic code with in the DNA of an organism. Sometimes mutation does not produce any effect on the organism. Mutation can produce both positive and negative impact. Its effect is observed in long run as its rate is slow.

b) Recombination – When an organism undergoes sex, his/her genes recombine with the genes of mating partner. The rate of recombination is faster than the rate of mutation  

c) Gene flow /Migration/Immigration of gene – In this gene travel from one set of population to the other. The frequency of gene in the mixed population lies between the original population gene frequency and the migrated or donor population gene frequency
