Answer:

Antiport.

Explanation:

Active transport can be achieved using different transporters:

Uniport (the transport of an only molecule).

Symport (the transport of two molecules in the same direction).

Antiport (two molecules are transported in opposite directions).

The Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger is an antiport, that transports <u>Na⁺ inside the cell and Ca²⁺ outside the cell</u> (see attachment).

Answer:

The Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger, which couples the movement of Na⁺ down its electrochemical gradient with the movement of Ca²⁺ against its electrochemical gradient, is a(n) <u>symporter secondary active transport </u>because Ca²⁺ and Na⁺ move in different directions across the membrane.

Explanation:

The Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger is a secondary active transport because it uses the energy of the Na⁺ that moves in favor of its electrochemical gradient to bring a Ca²⁺ ion against its electrochemical gradient inside the cell. This transport needs the help of a  symporter, which is a protein that moves two different ions in the same direction.

(Marine science) The Atlantic puffin feeds on several species of Atlantic fish. A population of puffins living on Matinucus Rock
mariarad [96]

If another predator, that is more efficient hunter, enters the territory of the puffins, the puffins will find themselves in a very tough situation. They will either have to adapt very quickly, or die out.

The evolutionary pressure will be there fro the puffins to push them in a direction to adapt and be netter hunters, thus fight for their existence. That would mean that the puffin's beak, but also their speed and efficiency will have to improve in order to compete or even out-compete the new predator.

If the puffins do not manage to adapt relatively quickly, and a food shortage occurs, than they will die out, as they will lose the fight for food constantly.
