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

Biology

Paraphin [41]3 years ago

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.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Rapid increases in water temperature cause extensive fish kills

Explanation:

Biotic factors are all living organisms that contribute to an ecosystem. On the other hand, abiotic factors are non-living factors, such as climatic factors (temperature, rainfall, wind), edaphic factors (soil type, soil texture, soil aeration etc). Changes of abiotic factors can have a huge influence on living organisms of ecosystem. The effects might be benefical or harmful.

Some of the most common abiotic factors that can impact a marine ecosystem are water temperature, currents, light, alkalinity, oxygent concentration etc.

How are global warning and El Nino similar? Is it possible to use effects of El Niño as evidence of potential dangers of global

El Niño as evidence of potential dangers of global warming to marine ecosystems

Explanation:

El Nino, an abnormal type of weather pattern, causes huge climatic variations globally by bringing floods in one region and drought in another region. These extremely changing patterns in weather can damage human life, agriculture, air quality, natural ecosystems, etc all of which might lead to global warming.  

El Nino effect is a serious potential danger to the marine life. This causes variations in the sea surface temperature, ocean currents, and upwelling patterns. Due to this, many marine organisms either migrate to newer places or do not survive the change.

Due to this, other sea animals depended on them also are depleted of their food source. El Nino also impacts the structure of coral reefs causing coral bleaching which in turn affects the marine life.
