Active transport is the homeostatic process that requires energy to move particles across the plasma membrane.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Transport in living organisms</h3>
  • Plants and animals use various processes to transport materials from one point to another.
  • There are classified as either passive transport or active transport.
<h3>Active transport  </h3>
  • It is a type of transport in living organisms that involves movement of substances against a concentration gradient through the plasma membrane.
  • It  involves use of energy in form of ATP to aid transport of substances.
<h3>Passive transport</h3>
  • It is a type of transport that does not involve the use of energy to aid movement of substances in living organisms.
  • Passive transport involves free movement of substances and through special types of transporters or carriers.
  • Types of passive transport includes; simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and mass flow among others.
<h3>Types of passive transport</h3><h3>Facilitated diffusion</h3>
  • Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which involves the diffusion of solutes by use of transport proteins in the plasma membrane.
  • Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins to transport solutes down their concentration gradient.
<h3>Osmosis  </h3>
  • Osmosis is a special diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules from a region where they are highly concentrated to a region where they are lowly concentrated through a semipermeable membrane.
  • It may also refer to the movement of water molecules from a region of low particle concentration to a region of a high particle concentration.
<h3>Diffusion  </h3>
  • Diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
  • Diffusion involves movement of molecules of substances other than water.

Keywords: Active transport, Passive transport, Diffusion, Osmosis,

The right answer is 1. active transport.


Active transport refers to the passage of an ion or molecule across a membrane against its concentration gradient.

If the process uses chemical energy produced, for example, by the hydrolysis of a nucleotide triphosphate such as adenosine triphosphate, it is called primary active transport.

Active transport is opposed to passive transport, which does not use energy.

A scientist claimed that hemophilia is caused by a functional deficiency in Factor VIII. The evidence in the passage that would
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

C-able to relieve haemophilia

Explanation:

Factor  V111 is a blood clotting factor;produced in the liver and body endothelial cells. It is usually  exist as inactive form  beacuse it is  binded to glycoprotein (glycogen +protein) called  Von Willebrand factor when released into the blood stream.

If absent in the gene of certain individuals due to mutations, it result in a sex-linked conndtion called haemophilia, where blood failed to clot  when blood vessels are damaged leading to profuse bleeding/ hemorrhage.

Ideally in a normal individuals  the inactive from of factor VIII are continuously circulated in inactive forms in the blood stream, until a damaged blood vessels occurs. At the injured site they  are converted to active from called  coagulating factor VIIIa,,by separation  from Willebrand factor, react with coagulating factor IX to initiate clotting. The factor VIII is a co- factor for  factor IX, and together with calcium ion,phospholipids converts t to factor IXa,

The latter converts prothrombin to thrombin. The thrombin convert fibrinogen to fibrin, which form a stable fibrin clot at the injured site to arrest bleeding.<u> </u><u>The cascade of events is lacking individual without factor VIII. Therefore  bleeding occurs. </u>

<u />

<u />

Consequently, symptoms of hemophilia can be relieved  by a functional factor VIII, because it will  prevent the deficiency in factor VIII in the affected individuals by acting as co-factors for the conversion of factor IX to IXa, to initiate clotting.
