Active transport is different than passive transport in that:

Biology
1 answer:
torisob [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is: A. active transport requires energy.

Explanation:

  • Active transport can be defined as the physiological process by which molecules are enforced to migrate from a region where their concentration is low to a region where their concentration is high across a semi-permeable membrane. This occurs by the expenditure of energy. This type of movement is usually carried out by the integral membrane transport proteins or carrier proteins those remain interspersed across the plasma membrane.
  • Passive transport can be defined as the physiological process in which no energy expenditure is required. This is because in this form of transport, molecules move from a region where their concentration is high to a region where their concentration is low, that is, down the gradient of their concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane. This type of movement can be mediated by simple diffusion or with the help of membrane transport proteins.

ipn [44]

Cloning is a process of producing genetically identical organisms through the techniques of biotechnology. Reproductive cloning of animals involves the somatic cell nuclear transfer in which the nucleus from an adult donor cell is transferred to an egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed. It is then incorporated into the uterus of a surrogate animal.

Pet cloning is not acceptable because of the following reasons-

(1) Its a very expensive procces with a high rate of failure.

(2) The clones produced tend to develop health problems. Large Offspring Syndrome (LOS) with very large organs is observed showing problems with blood flow and breathing with respect to heart and lungs, renal failure and other complicated issues.

(3) The clones are susceptible to skeletal abnormalities, higher rates of infection and tumour development. This results in a high mortality (death) rates.

(4) Since a surrogate mother is involved in the process of cloning, they experience a lot of health problems while carrying the embryos and sometimes it can be even killed.

Thus, cloning of pets is not acceptable as it affects both the cloned animal and the surrogate mother which is not preferred. Instead, adopting a homeless pet will provide shelter to another animal with a better nourishment.

Which of the following is similar among all living organisms on Earth? social behavior, physical appearance, cellular function,
Mkey [24]
It is all of them. To be alive we all kind of have to have a face or body, we all need cells to help us with our day to day activities and we all need to communicate with other humans so that would be social behavior.

vova2212 [387]

Cellular communication is the function of the plasma membrane that allows it to respond to certain stimuli from outside the cell and hormones to bind to receptors.

<h3>What is plasma membrane?</h3>

It is a double layer of lipids that covers and delimits the cells, serving as a border between the inside and the outside of the cell, and also allowing a physicochemical balance.

<h3>Characteristics of plasma membrane</h3>

Enables the development of compartments; allows or rejects the entry and/or exit of particles; acts as a mechanical defense; and reacts to external signals and stimuli.

It reacts and transmits information inside the cell, starting certain biochemical processes: cell division, cell movement or the segregation of biochemical substances.

Therefore, we can conclude that the main characteristic of the plasma membrane, that is, its ability to allow or reject the entry of certain molecules into the cell.
