Compare and contrast passive transport, active transport, and osmosis

Biology
2 answers:
Andrew [12]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Passive transport moves molecules and ions from a higher concentration to a lower concentration without any energy while active transport does the same thing only it uses energy. Osmosis deals with the net movement of solvent molecules through a membrane with a higher solute concentration. Osmosis and active transport both work together, while osmosis does its own movement the active transport moves the dissolved solutes across a membrane against a concentration gradient.

Active transport and passive transport are almost the same they function the same only one doesn't require energy while the other one does. Hence why active transport and osmosis work well together it's because of the energy that helps transport dissolved solutes.

Hope this helped :)

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.

Active transport is the movement of molecules form an are of low concentration to and area of high concentration.

Passive transport is the movement of molecules form an area of big concentration to an area of low concentration.

Osmosis, Active transport and passive transport are similar in that they are about the process of moving molecules form one area to another. They are different in that they all move the molecules to different areas and osmosis is the movement of water molecules only where as the others may move the same molecule at times.

Hope this was right :)

What happens when energy is transferred to a liquid? If you really know the answer from previous lessons like this, then I will
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection. Liquids and gases expand when they are heated. ... The denser cold liquid or gas falls into the warm areas.

By pairing the ringing of a bell with the presentation of meat, Pavlov trained dogs to salivate to the sound of a bell even when
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Unconditioned stimulus.

Explanation:

Classical conditioning may be defined as a type of learning procedure in which the biological procedure is used to pair up with the previous nerve stimulus. This stimulus result in the response of an individual.

The Pavlov experiment with the dog explains the process of classical conditioning. The ringing of bell (conditioned stimulus) is paired with unconditioned stimulus (meat presentation).

Thus, the meat presentation is unconditioned stimulus.

What gives cell membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier for the cell
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Cell membrane fluidity is determined by many things, including the presence of or absence of saturated and or unsaturated fatty acid tails, and because of that the ability of the phospholipids in a cell membrane to tightly pack together or not. I believe though in terms of an additional substance it would have to be cholesterol. These specific lipid molecules are inserted in between the phospholipids preventing phospholipids from tightly packing together thus allowing the cell membrane to have greater fluidity and flexibility.
