Answer:

Facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation, involving the Electron transport chain and Chemiosmosis is the third stage of cellular respiration. The main purpose of the ETC is to build an electrochemical (electrical and concentration) gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. It does this by using energy to pump protons (H+ ions) from the matrix to the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria.

Facilitated diffusion, also known as passive transport through channels, is a form of facilitated transport involving a passive movement of molecules along their concentration gradient, through channels called membrane proteins.

During Chemiosmosis of Oxidative phosphorylation, protons (H+) flow back down their concentration gradient (from inter-membrane space to matrix) due to the chemiosmotic gradient that has been formed in ETC. However, hydrogen ions (H+) cannot pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane except through an enzyme (protein) found in the inner mitochondrial membrane called ATP synthase. This protein acts as a machine powered by the force of the H+ diffusing through it, down an electrochemical gradient. This movement of H+ via ATP synthase further catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP.

It is an example of facilitated diffusion because H+ ions are diffusing across the inner mitochondrial membrane (from inter-membrane space to matrix) via a protein channel or membrane protein called ATP synthase.

Answer:

1. seawalls

2. volcanic

3. mass wasting

4. ocean basin

5. erosion

Explanation:

6. Reefs form from volcanic activity on an island in the ocean. This initially forms a fringing reef, but sea level rise can cause the reef to lie farther out from the island, forming a barrier reef. If the island ever subsides below sea level, the reef is called an atoll.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

D) It would contain less nitrogen.

Explanation:

In an investigation of the cycling of environmental gases, a  student placed water and bromthymol blue in each of four test  tubes as shown in the diagrams below. No additional items were  placed in tube 1, a snail was placed in tube 2, an aquatic plant  (elodea) was placed in tube 3, and both a snail and an elodea  were placed in tube 4. The tubes were then stoppered and placed  in bright light for 24 hours. The solution in tube 3 changes after 24 hours because it would contain less nitrogen.

The dfferent tubes are shown in the picture that I uploaded.

Question 1
masha68 [24]

Answer:

flaccid, hypertonic.

Explanation:

It became flaccid due to the low water potential in solution outside of potato cells, hence causing water to leave the potato cells & move into the solution.

Hypertonic solution simply means the concentration of solute is higher & water potential is lower than in potato cells.

Assume that the kidney stone in question has reached the bladder. What is the pathway of exit for this stone (i.e. what anatomic
sasho [114]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

From your bladder, the pathway of exit to the outside is through the urethra.

The diameter of the female urethra is about 6 mm. The male urethra is usually a bit larger.

Kidney stones can vary in size from 0.1 mm to over 40 mm in size.

Stones less than about 6 mm in size can usually pass through the urethra on their own with little or no pain.

Larger stones can be excruciatingly painful. The urethra cannot expand enough for them to pass through. Such stones usually need medical treatment to be removed.
