Light energy (from the sun) is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen
the light energy from the sun is then trapped in the glucose. in order to retrieve the chemical energy stores within the molecule, the bonds have to be broken.
Active transport require the cell to expand energy whilst Passive transport require no energy from the cell in active transport.
Passive Transport moves molecules across membrane without the use of energy by the cell.
-Simple diffusion
-Facilitated diffusion
-Osmosis
Active Transport uses energy (ATP) to move molecules across membrane.
-Protein pumps
-Exocytosis
-Endocytosis (Phagocytosis & Pinocytosis)
Answer/Explanation:
In humans, we breathe in oxygen via the respiratory system. The oxygen enters the lungs. The air sacs in the lungs - the alveoli - are the site of gas exchange in the lungs and are where the circulatory and respiratory systems interact.
The alveoli take in the oxygen, where it diffuses into the capillaries (circulatory system). Blood, which passes through the capillaries takes this oxygen to all the cells in the body. Oxygen binds to haemoglobin in red blood cells, which transport it around the body.
Additionally, blood also transports carbon dioxide back to the alveoli of the lungs, where it diffuses into the lungs and is expelled when we breathe out
Answer:
Cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria of a cell, hence it is also known as power house of cell , because it gives us energy in the form of ATP molecule .
Answer:
Pumps, also called transporters, are transmembrane proteins that actively move ions and/or solutes against a concentration or electrochemical gradient across biological membranes. One moves with the concentration gradient (high to low) which powers the movement of the other against the gradient (low to high).
