Answer:

Any process that involves active transport most often involves the​ expenditure of energy in the form of ATP hydrolysis.

Explanation:

Active transport in cells is a form of transport which involves the transport of solute molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient using energy provided from some chemical reaction occuring in the cell.

Active transport is an endergonic (energy-requiring) process and therefore, must proceed only when coupled to an exergonic (energy-releasing) process such as the breakdown of ATP, an oxidation reaction, absorption of sunlight, etc.

In many instances in cell, such as the Na/K pump, ATP hydrolysis is the the common exergonic reaction to which active transport is coupled to.

Describe the process of building a paradigm and of shifting one
frutty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A paradigm shift is a major change in the concepts and practices of how something works or is accomplished.

A paradigm shift very often happens when new technology is introduced that radically alters the production process of a good or service.

Although the idea of paradigms has been around for quite some time, the concept was explored by physicist and philosopher Thomas Kahn Kuhn.

TiliK225 [7]
Eukaryotic cells are theorized to have evolved from prokaryotes called the endosymbiotic theory. This explains that the most primitive eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell (by the process of phagocytosis) that is capable of cellular respiration and another prokaryotic cell that is capable of photosynthesis. These prokaryotic cells eventually became organelles and these organelles are the mitochondria and the chloroplast.
