<u>Answer</u>:- Active transport

<u>Explanation</u>:-

There are two types of membrane transports

1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from <em>high concetration to low concentration.</em>

2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from <em>low concentration to high concentration.</em>

<em>The active transport is of two types:</em>

1. <em>Primary active transport-</em> in this type of transport <em>ATP</em> is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.

2.<em>Secondary active transport</em> - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.


  • The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as <em>carrier proteins</em>. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.

So, the <em>active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.</em>

When adult amphibian skin harbors populations of the bacterium, Janthinobacterium lividum (Jl), chytrid infection seems to be in
ira [324]

Answer:

C: Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Leave one population alone; inoculate the other with Jl. Measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both populations.

Explanation:

In scientific investigations, the best way to determine the effect of certain experimental factor on the population of study is to have a baseline for comparison. This is usually referred to as controlled experiment.

<em>In the case of the observation that chytrid infection in amphibians seems to be inhibited by Janthinobacterium lividum, the best way experimental design is to get a population of amphibians suffering from the disease, divide them into two groups and subject them to the same conditions except the introduction of Janthinobacterium lividum to the skin of one of the groups.</em>

<em>A suitable method can thereafter be employed to measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both population. If indeed, the bacterium has the capacity to inhibit the infection, the rate of infection in the group with the bacterium will be significantly less than that of the group without the bacterium. </em>

The correct option is C.
