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.

SCORPION-xisa [38]
<h2>b) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Some bacterial toxins cause disease by  altering the activity of G protein, cholera toxin is one of them
  • Cholera toxin catalyse ADP ribosylation of Gs and blocks GTPase activity thus Gs GTP become permanently active
  • Constitutive activation of Gs protein continuously induce adenylyl cyclase, cytosolic cAMP level rises that leads to activation of protein kinase A (pKA)
  • Activated pKA catalyse phosphorylation of two transmembrane proteins of intestinal epithelial cells:
  • CFTR cause excessive outflow of Cl- ion and Na+ H+ exchange cause efflux of Na+ ion, both enters in gut and form Na+ Cl-
  • Na+Cl- leads to outflow of water from the gut, resulting in diarrhea and dehydration and this condition may cause death of organisms due to loss of water and ions

mestny [16]

Answer:

6 hours

Explanation:

after death every hour drops to 1.5 the temperature so if you multiply 6 * 1.5 it equals 9 and if you subtract that the 97.6 which is the average heat temperature of the adult then you will get 88.6 degrees which would be around your question

What is the name of the process by which the cytoplasm divides in two?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Cytokinesis

Explanation:

All living cells undergo division, it is the method employed in duplicating themselves. The division of cells involves two major processes viz; karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

Karyokinensis involves the division of the genetic material (DNA) in the nucleus. The chromosomes are initially separated into opposite poles/ends inside the cell. After which the cytoplasm of the whole cell then separates resulting in two daughter cells each having its own genetic material. This process is called CYTOKINESIS.

Although CYTOKINESIS occurs in all eukarotes and prokaryotes, the way it occurs in the eukaryotic plant and animal cells differ in the sense that, in animals, it occurs with the formation of a cleavage furrow as a result of pinching inward of the cell membrane until the two daughter cells form while in plants, a cell plate is formed at the cell's centre and a new membrabe and cell wall is formed around each cell plate.
