State two examples of situations where active transport occurs

Biology

Cloud [144]3 years ago

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

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

Schleiden was a German botanist and Schwann was a German zoologist who independently observed that plants and animals are made of cells.

Once when they together met in a conference, they shared what they observed and later both reached the conclusion that cell is the functional and structural unit of living organisms.

In the given question, since Schwann was a zoologist, therefore, he concluded that the cell in an organism must function properly whereas Schleiden was a botanist and concluded that the different structures of a plant are composed of cells.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Mammalian evolution began with the evolution of the first synapsids. What is the defining synapomorphy of synapsis?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

b. a single temporal fenestra

Explanation:

Synapsids have a temporary fossa in the lower part of the temporal bone. These reptiles mamiferoides only have a single inferior temporal fenestra.

The synapsids were the first amniots to diversify and appeared  in the middle of the Carboniferous. These first synapses were characterized by the presence of a single temporary fenestra behind each orbit, through which the mandibular muscles pass.
