Answer:
After being hunted almost to extinction, the humpback whale population has rebounded dramatically. Rapidly melting Antarctica ice poses a threat to coastal cities, but there is at least one species that is benefiting: Humpback whales are flourishing these days, due to an abundance of krill.
Pre-hunting population size may have been as many as 200,000-300,000 whales. They were estimated to number around 2,300 in 1998 and to be increasing between 2.4-8.4% per year. The IWC is undertaking an assessment of Antarctic blue whales at present.
A Protein Pump :- Protein pumps use energy from hydrolysis of ATP to move ions or large molecules across cell membrane.
Purpose of a Protein Pump :- In a Protein Pump the proteins help in active transport of molecules. Example, Membrane proteins are very specific and help in active transport. These proteins are positioned to cross the membrane so one part on the inside of the cell and one part is on the outside of the cell. Only when they cross the bilayer(cell membrane) they are able to move molecules and ions in and out of the cell.
Need for a Protein pump to work :- In active transport, A protein pump changes its shape when allows movement of molecules and therefore requires energy in the form of ATP. They use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to move ions or small molecules across a membrane.
Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. The reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis.
