Answer:
The correct choice is ''ion electrochemical gradients''.
Diffusion of ions across membranes through specific ion channels is driven by <u>ion electrochemical gradients</u>.
Explanation:
An electrochemical gradient can be considered as that electrical (electrostatic pressure) and chemical (diffusion) force that determine the movement of molecules and ions across the membrane. This electrochemical gradient, in addition to causing movement of substances through cell membranes, is also a type of potential energy available for the performance of different cellular activities, potential energy called membrane potential.
Answer:
Porifera or Sponges
Explanation:
Porifera is the phylum of the simplest multicellular marine animals. Their body is composed of two cell layers (something like tissues) and mesophyl between them. The body is in direct contact with surrounding water through the large number of pores and channels. What makes Sponges so simple is that their cells are unspecialized and that they don't have nervous, digestive or circulatory systems.
Most people recognize biodiversity by species—a group of individual living organisms that can interbreed. Examples of species include blue whales, white-tailed deer, white pine trees, sunflowers, and microscopic bacteria that can't even be seen by the naked eye.
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.
But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.
This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.
Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.
