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

Constipation and diarrhea, are both caused by a similar thing. Constipation is caused whenever there is too much buildup of food, or other food based material in the intestines. Usually this passes itself, yet constipation can also cause diarrhea through a bowel movement.

Which may lead to lower productivity because of a lack of incentives?
LekaFEV [45]
I believe the answer is Government subsidies. A subsidy is the form of cash payment or a tax reduction. It is normally given to remove some type of burden, and it is often considered to be in the overall interest of the public, given to promote a social good or economic policy. Tax subsidy; the government can create the same outcome through selective tax breaks as through cash payment. For example, suppose a government sends monetary assistance that reimburses 15% of all health expenditures to a group that is paying 15% income tax. Tax subsidies are also known as tax expenditures.
