Alchen [17]

This movement from a high concentration area to a low concentration are is called Active transport.

<h3>Active Transport</h3>

Active transport by definition is a process that is characterized by the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient. Additionally, this process requires energy.

As in the question above, glucose molecules have to be moved across the gut lumen of higher glucose concentration to the intestinal cells of relatively low level of glucose.

crimeas [40]

In the block to polyspermy, entry of the sperm's contents causes calcium ion levels in the oocyte's cytoplasm to rise, triggering the cortical reaction.

In biology, polyspermy describes the fertilization of an egg by more than one sperm. Diploid organisms normally contain two copies of each chromosome, one from each parent.

The cell resulting from polyspermy, on the other hand, contains three or more copies of each chromosome—one from the egg and one each from multiple sperm. Usually, the result is an unviable zygote. This may occur because sperm are too efficient at reaching and fertilizing eggs due to the selective pressures of sperm competition.

The cortical reaction is a calcium-dependent exocytotic process in which the content of secretory granules is released into the perivitellin space immediately after fertilization, which serves to prevent polyspermic fertilization.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is OPTION B (b. Yes—the initial infection might be acute but the virus can later become latent by becoming integrated into the host cell genome).

Explanation:

The hepatitis B virus has an unusual feature similar to retroviruses. This makes it deadly and difficult to treat when it is at an advanced stage. It basically attacks the liver and can cause both an acute and persistent infection.

In the acute stage, the cells are newly attacked and the body is fighting it off, the symptoms might start showing depending on how long it has invaded the body. These symptoms include dark urine, vomiting, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), the liver can still fail at this stage causing death.

At the persistent stage, which is already chronic, the invaded cells have been weakened, the symptoms are slow to resolve therefore it is in a prolonged stage which can lead to liver cancer and eventual death.
