Which of the following accurately describes an example of how materials can move across the cell membrane through active transpo

rt? A protein acts as a channel to allow large, hydrophilic molecules to diffuse across the cell membrane. A protein acts as a pump and moves calcium ions from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. The cell membrane folds to surround a substance and bring the substance inside the cell during exocytosis. Water moves by osmosis from higher concentration to lower concentration by passing through proteins called aquaporins.

Answer:

A protein acts as a pump and moves calcium ions from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

Explanation:

An active transport means a transport which utilizes ATP i.e. energy input to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Naturally, substances like ions have a tendency to move from <u>higher concentration to lower concentration</u><u>.</u> This is know as passive transport  which does not require any energy input. But, if we want to move an ion against its concentration gradient then we will have to provide energy input and such transport is known as active transport. Pumps are transport proteins which are involved in active transport in a cell. They may be located on cell membrane or plasma membrane of organelles like sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER) etc.

Examples of pumps are Na⁺ - K⁺ pumps in cell membrane, calcium pumps in  sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).

What is the error in this experiment please ??
True [87]
An error is that the scientist did not control their variables. They had one group of people playing the game at 6, and another group playing at 12. This means that other things might have affected the scores other than what was being tested, which was caffeine.

Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution
Vladimir [108]

Answer and explanation:

If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.

<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.

In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.

Answer:

  1. Respiratory system
  2. Nervous system
  3. Circulatory system
  4. Integumentary system
  5. Endocrine system

Explanation:

During excessive hard work or sports, the respiratory system acts to provide sufficient oxygen for energy supply (ATP) - a process takes place in mitochondria. At the very beginning, the respiratory system is active. If the person doesn't intake sufficient water, he will feel tired because of heavy breathing that increases body temperature and affects metabolic reactions. A supply of water would help decrease the respiration need and so support other systems.

The nervous system (hypothalamus) regulates the body temperature which is necessary for metabolic reactions taking place within the body, i.e. homeostasis. During and after exercise, the water intake was not sufficient, this means that the hypothalamus would work to maintain the temperature as well as other metabolic mechanisms. In the case of less water intake, the nervous system would be in stress.

The circulatory system acts to transport blood and oxygen to all parts of the body. During sports activities, the oxygen supply would be high to maintain energy supply. This takes place with the combined action of the circulatory system and respiratory system. For optimal functioning, the circulatory system needs fluids (water) intake because sufficient water is already lost during sports.

The integumentary system is the system that directly protects the body from damages including dehydration. Therefore, in this case, it will be highly active.

The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones to control body metabolism. The body metabolism, as mentioned before, is driven through water availability. The reduced water in the body would also put the endocrine system under pressure.
