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

Invertebrates, insects and crustaceans has an open circulatory system where pump blood goes into a hemocoel and diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells. In other animals, the heart pumps the blood into the body cavities, spaces or sinuses, where the blood surrounds the tissues.

Why are some people asymptomatic?
o-na [289]

Explanation:

In medicine, a condition is considered asymptomatic if the patient is a carrier of a disease or infection but does not experience symptoms. A condition can be asymptomatic if it does not present the noticeable symptoms with which it is normally associated. Asymptomatic infections are also called subclinical infections. Other conditions (such as mental illness) may be considered subclinical if they present some but not all of the symptoms required for a clinical diagnosis. The term clinically silent is also used.

HELPP !!!
Svetach [21]

Answer:

It becomes more common

Explanation:

Even if the trait is recessive if it is beneficial to a population then it will become more common because those with the trait are more likely to survive. For example, if a population of beetles lives on green grass and the dominant trait is for the beetles to be black and the recessive trait is green then the green ones will survive because the black beetles will be eaten first.
