<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>

Compare different scientist's point of view for the theory of evolution (Lamark and Darwin)
OverLord2011 [107]
<span>Lamarck believed that organisms could acquire characteristics during their lifetime, that they could pass down to their offspring, but Darwin did not believe these traits could be passed down. Darwin proved that the species adapted to their environment through natural selection. Meaning only the one that could adapt to the changes would survive. </span>

What is the life cycle of a butterfly?
Naddika [18.5K]
Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis, and their life cycle contains 4 stages.

First, they are born as an egg. 

Then, they are hatched as a larva. They now eat flowers and leaves and will molt constantly. 

Next, they become a chrysalis, or a pupa. This is a resting stage.

Then is the long awaited adult stage, where butterflies take the form of the beloved, beautiful, winged insects we've come to admire. They no long grow and will now reproduce and repeat the cycle.

Hope this helps! Have a great day :)

All organisms in the kingdom Fungi can be described by which of these characteristics?
loris [4]

Answer:

cell walls made of chitin

Explanation:

Fungal cells differ from mammalian cells in that they have cell walls that are composed of chitin, glucans, mannans, and glycoproteins. Both mammalian and fungal cells have cell membranes; however, they differ in their lipid composition.
