How can substances be transported across a membrane against their concentration gradient?

Biology
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: To move substances against a concentration or electrochemical gradient, a cell must use energy.

Explanation:

This occurs because During active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration which is a  “active” progress which requires the use of energy (usually in the form of ATP). It is the opposite of passive transport.

maw [93]

The questions is incomplete as it lacks the multiple options. The options are as follows;

a. These organisms store their genetic information in a compartment called a nucleus.

b. Information in DNA is translated into RNA and then transcribed into protein.

c. The organisms are from the domain Archaea.

d. Information in RNA is transcribed into DNA and then translated into protein.

e. None of the statements can be made with certainty.

Answer:

None of the statements can be made with certainty.

Explanation:

The classification of the organisms are made on the similarities and differences between the organisms. The three domain of the classification are archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote domains.

The species can be classified on the basis of the numbers of characteristics and not on just a single character. The new species is found in deep sea thermal vents but no other information is given about the species like its cell wall characteristics or the genetic material. The species cannot be classified accurately.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
