What is the main way that active transport differs from diffusion?

Active transport is different from diffusion because it requires energy expenditure, while diffusion requires no energy at all. In diffusion, materials are moving from areas of high concentration across the cell membrane into areas of low concentration. This requires no energy on the part of the cell. In active transport, however, the cell is moving material between two areas of equal concentration, or from an area of low concentration into an area of high concentration. This requires the cell to expend energy.

As powerful as diffusion is, cells sometimes must move materials in the opposite direction—against a concentration difference. This is accomplished by a process known as active transport. As its name implies, active transport requires energy.

Explanation:

The skin is usually considered as supply-independent for oxygen delivery. The most affected organs and tissues considered as being supply-dependent for oxygen delivery are heart, brain and lungs. These are the most sensitive to oxygen deprivation, being the brain more than the other organs.

Fill in the missing words. naturalselection foundereffect geographicallyisolated species evolution

grandymaker [24]

Hi!

The ancestral finch founded a new population on one of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the founder effect , allele frequencies of the first small population on one of the islands could have differed from their continental goldfinch-like ancestors. The process of natural selection resulted in adaptation and evolution of the island population into a new species over time. Some of the birds crossed to some of the other islands where they were geographically isolated and evolved into more species occupying different niches.

In terms of population genetics, founder effect is when there is a loss of genetic diversity as a result of the establishment of a new population by a relatively few individuals. Following such an establishment, natural selection is the process which results in the genes of the fittest individuals of the population being selected over generations. This process ultimately results in evolution, and over time may give rise to new species. Geographical isolation is the physical separation of a population from another owing to geographical changes in the terrain or area. If two populations of the same species are geographically isolated, there is a great chance over time they may evolve into two different species.

Hope this helps!
