Facilitated diffusion. It is a passive transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell’s energy supplies. Instead, the energy is provide by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell. The carrier proteins bind to glucose, which causes them to change shape and translocate the glucose from one side of the membrane to the other. Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.

For mitochondria where an uncoupler for oxidative phosphorylation is present, which statement is TRUE?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is statement d.

Explanation:

In oxidative phosphorylation that takes place in mitochondria, the uncouplers prevent the coupling in between the phosphorylation reactions and electron transport, and therefore, prevent the synthesis of ATP without influencing the ATP synthase and respiratory chain.  

The uncoupler always exhibits its influence on the synthesis of ATP. The 2,4-dinitrophenol functions as an uncoupler at the time of oxidative phosphorylation. The NADPH and FAD functions as an electron carrier.

What do you think is useful about knowing how to read a pedigree
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Knowing how to read a pedigree allows you to track through the family history and how a condition is passed down, if it is genetic. It allows you to tell if the condition is sex-linked, autosomal, dominant, or recessive. It also allows you to see the family and what occurs in the family, such as marriages, miscarriages, and other relationships.

In the early 1900s, alfred wegener noticed that some of earth's continents looked like they might fit together like a jigsaw puz
kompoz [17]

The theory developed by Wegener that the continents of the Earth were once a part of a single big super-continent is based on his observations that these continents fir together as a part of the jig-saw puzzle. And these observed continents have similar flora and fauna along with similar rock formations. Such a derivation of theory from observations is an inductive reasoning.

Hence, the answer is 'inductive reasoning'.
