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.

The ____________ is sometimes called the "funny bone" because of the tingling sensation (pain) one feels if the ____________ is
Alex

Answer:

<u>Ulnar nerve</u> is also called funny bone and feels tingling sensation if <u>humerus </u>is bumbed. <u>Medial epicondyle</u> passes underneath this bony structure.

Explanation:

The funny bone isn't actually a bone, its actually a nerve that touches your humerus.It is the ulnar nerve, which travels down the arm posteriorly and eventually reaches the "cubital tunnel" and at this location (between the trochlea and medial epicondyle of humerus),  ulnar nerve is called funny bone.

The nerve is relatively unprotected at this place.

A blow here may produce a tingling or a numbing sensation throughout the forearm and hand.

Hence, <u>Ulnar nerve</u> is also called funny bone and feels tingling sensation if <u>humerus </u>is bumbed. <u>Medial epicondyle</u> passes underneath this bony structure.

Interferons

Virally infected cells produce and release small proteins called interferons, which play a role in immune protection against viruses.

<h3>What are Interferons ?</h3>

Interferons prevent replication of viruses, by directly interfering with their ability to replicate within an infected cell.

  • They also act as signalling molecules that allow infected cells to warn nearby cells of a viral presence – this signal makes neighbouring cells increase the numbers of MHC class I molecules upon their surfaces

  • So that T cells surveying the area can identify and eliminate the viral infection.
