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

Can some one describe the excretory system for chickens?
Fofino [41]
Generally, the excretory system of the chickens is actually a biological system that usually removes excess of unnecessary materials from the body of the chicken. A function that eliminates the waste product of metabolism in the body such as liquids or gaseous wastes like urine, sweat and exhalation, these substances are usually toxic for the chicken body. There are only several organs that are considered part of the excretory system. It has also said that the system had a closed relationship with temperature in the body.

What is the purpose of using control groups in an experiment
Brums [2.3K]
Typically you use experimental and control groups in an experiment. a control group is like the default, and the experimental is the one you actually experiment with.

for example if i run an experiment on the effects of food dye on a leaf stem, i’ll have my control group (the ones without food dye) to compare to the experimental group (the ones with food dye)

the control group is a way for scientists to see how an experiment truly affected or altered the subject
