I had trouble with this one, I was on a quiz I had.
Norman Borlaug developed a drought and disease resistant dwarf wheat which helped the people of Mexico and India during food shortages.

SOS:

The answer is <u><em>wheat!</em></u>

Borlaug, an American plant breeder, had developed several wheat varieties containing a dwarf gene. The new dwarf varieties were crossed with Indian varieties to produce high yielding, drought and disease resistant varieties that would replace the older low yielding wheat of India. Borlaug, an important name in the green revolution, received the Nobel Prize for his work in helping to feed the hungry.

A) Compare and contrast diffusion, passive transport (diffusion &amp; facilitated), primary active transport and secondary activ
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

<u>Passive transport</u>: It does not need any energy to occur. Happens in favor of an electrochemical gradient. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are kinds of passive transport.

<u>Simple diffusion</u>: molecules freely moves through the membrane.

<u>Facilitated diffusion</u>: molecules are carried through the membrane by channel proteins or carrier proteins.

<u>Active transport</u> needs energy, which can be taken from the ATP molecule (<u>Primary active transport</u>) or from a membrane electrical potential (<u>Secondary active transport</u>).

Explanation:

  • <u>Diffusion</u>: This is a pathway for some <em>small polar hydrophilic molecules</em> that can<em> freely move through the membrane</em>. Membrane´s permeability <em>depends</em> on the <em>size of the molecule</em>, the bigger the molecule is, the less capacity to cross the membrane it has. Diffusion is a very slow process and to be efficient requires short distances and <em>pronounced concentration gradients</em>. An example of diffusion is <em>osmosis</em> where water is the transported molecule.
  • <u>Facilitated diffusion</u>: Refers to the transport of <em>hydrophilic molecules</em> that <em>are not able to freely cross the membrane</em>. <em>Channel protein</em> and many <em>carrier proteins</em> are in charge of this <em>passive transport</em>. If uncharged molecules need to be carried this process depends on <em>concentration gradients</em> and molecules are transported from a higher concentration side to a lower concentration side. If ions need to be transported this process depends on an <em>electrochemical gradient</em>. The <em>glucose</em> is an example of a hydrophilic protein that gets into the cell by facilitated diffusion.

<em>Simple diffusion</em> and <em>facilitated diffusion</em> are <u>passive transport</u> processes because the cell <u><em>does not need any energy</em></u> to make it happen.

  • <u>Active transport</u> occurs <em>against the electrochemical gradient</em>, so <u><em>it does need energy to happen</em></u>. Molecules go from a high concentration side to a lower concentration side. This process is always in charge of <em>carrier proteins</em>. In <u>primary active transport</u> the <em>energy</em> needed <em>comes from</em> the <em>ATP</em> molecule. An example of primary active transport is the <em>Na-K bomb</em>. In <u>secondary active transport</u>, the<em> energy comes from</em> the <em>membrane electric potential</em>.  Examples of secondary active transport are the carriage of <em>Na, K, Mg metallic ions</em>.

Which of the following is NOT considered a cause of the Dust Bowl?
vagabundo [1.1K]

The following cause that is not considered in the formation of a Dust Bowl is the lack of farmers in Oklahoma.

What change is observed in leukocytes during an allergic disorder (type I hypersensitivity) often caused by asthma, hay fever, a
blagie [28]

Answer:

Increase in eosinophils.

Explanation:

The leukocytes are the white blood cell that plays an important role in the immune system. The white blood cell include eosinophil, basophil, neutrophil and monocytes.

The allergic reactions that are caused by hay fever or asthma is marked by the excess increase in the number of eosinophils in the body. The eosinophils are the first to reach at the site of parasitic infections and protect the body during the allergic reactions.

Thus, the answer is eosinophils.
