Answer:
The correct answer is: C. Active Transport.
Explanation:
Because Na+ and K+ are ions, which makes them <em>charged molecules</em>, they can only diffuse through the cell membrane when using specialized protein channels. This is called <u>facilitated diffusion</u> and is a form of passive transport because sodium and potassium move <em>following their gradients</em>, which are made of the difference in concentration between the inside of the cell and the outside of the cell. For example, potassium is highly concentrated inside the cell and poorly concentrated outside the cell, so potassium diffuses from the inside to the outside to even the concentrations.
But the question asks in which process Na+ and K+ move in and out of the cell SIMULTANEOUSLY, so the answer is actually <u>active transport</u>. Active transport is the opposite of passive transport. While passive transport occurs naturally and doesn't need ATP (energy) to happen, active transport needs ATP because it moves molecules AGAINST their gradient. One of the most famous and important structures involved in active transport is the Na+/K+ pump, which consists of a <em>specialized protein using energy to enter 2 potassium ions and take out 3 sodium ions at the same time</em>. This Na+/K+ is fundamental to maintain the gradients, which are important for the correct functioning of many cells.
The answer is <span>b. Swamps are deeper and have a larger proportion of surface water than marshes, and bogs have acidic groundwater.
Bogs, marshes, and swamps are types of wetlands. Swamps and marshes are mineral soil wetlands. Swamps are deeper and with a larger proportion of surface water than marshes. Usually, swamps develop from marshes that fill in. Bogs are organic soil wetlands. They are acid areas with acidic groundwater.</span>
To test the effectiveness...
A. This variable should be controlled (the same in both groups).
B. The new chemical is what is being added to the experimental group.
C. This is the control group to which the treated couch should be compared.
D. This is the experimental group to which data should be taken.
Final answer: D
Answer:
-100
Explanation:
If the total water potential in the soil around a plant root were -50 kPa, water would move from the soil into the root if the water potential inside the root cells were -100 kPa.
The water potential of a substance represents the measure of potential energy in water molecules in a system as compared to that of pure water. It is also a measure of the tendency of water to move from one region to another.
<em>Usually, water will move from the region of high water potential to the region of low water potential. Hence, for water to move from the soil into the root, the root must have a lower water potential than the soil.</em>
The soil had -50 kPa water potential, hence the only option that is lower than -50 kPa is -100.
The correct answer is -100 kPa.
Answer;
Natural selection
Explanation;
-Natural selection is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution, along with mutation, migration, and genetic drift.Genetic diversity allows the different organisms to have different physiological characteristics. Some of them provides them with genetic resistance, others don’t. The ones which are resistant survive the pesticide, others don’t ; this is known as natural selection.
-Those that are resistant will live longer and have a larger number of offspring (reproductive success). From one generation to another, there will be more and more resistant pests (because of their larger offspring), and less and less pests that are not resistant (because they tend to die young). If the selection process goes on, someday the pesticide will be useless (it will kill no pest).
