State two examples of situations where active transport occurs

Biology
1 answer:
Cloud [144]3 years ago
8 0

When something needs to be transported against its concentration gradient, or a molecule is too big to simply diffuse through a membrane, active transport has to be used. So active transport requires energy (ATP).

Examples:

1. Antiport pumps: transport one substance in one direction while transporting another substance the other way. An example of this is the sodium-potassium pump.

2. Symport pumps - uses a substance that wants to move from an area of high concentration to low concentration and carries another substance against its concentration gradient. An example of this is the sodium-glucose transport protein

3. Endocytosis - large amounts of extra cellular fluid can be taken into a cell - needs ATP to bind proteins in the cell membrane and causes them to change their shape...which eventually causes the surrounding of the fluid to be brought in (a vesicle).

4.exocytosis - opposite of above

Explain how the results exclude the possibility that the trait is encoded by a mitochondrial gene.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Mitochondrial gene is the gene which inherited from mother  tothe offspring.

Explanation:

Some portion of DNA is also present in the mitochondria of the cell so mitochondrial gene is also transmitted from parent to their offspring. In humans, mitochondrial gene is transmitted from only one parent i. e. mother not father. The mitochondrial disease occurs in the human if the disease is present in the mother because it is transferred through genes from mother to their offspring. There are variety of diseases that occurs due to mitochondrial gene such as Mitochondrial myopathy, Diabetes mellitus and deafness etc. So the mitochondrial gene plays a vital role in the structure and function of human body.
