Answer:

Active transport moves molecules and ions from lower concentration to higher concentration, passive transport moves molecules and ions from a higher concentration to lower concentration without any energy.

Explanation:

Active transport moves molecules and ions from lower concentration to higher concentration with the help of energy in the form of ATP. On the other hand, passive transport moves molecules and ions from a higher concentration to lower concentration without any energy.

Foods that are low in sodium and rich in potassium include

Margarita [4]

Potassium holds an important function in both cell and energy-related functions. Potassium is considered to be one of the important blood minerals. Potassium regulates the balance of both water and acid in our blood and body tissues. Food which are high in potassium include white beans, spinach, plain yogurt, broccoli, sweet potato milk, bacon, oranges and many more. One should avoid the excessive intake of salt because too much intake of salt in the body may cause complications or illnesses in our body. Some illnesses caused by too much salt in the body are fluid retention, high blood pressure, Kidney problems and heart failure.

A machine require 2,000 joules to raise a 20 kilogram block a distance of 6 meters. How efficient is the machine?

Nataly_w [17]

Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

To raise the 20kg block 6 meters, you need to give it

(20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (6 m) = 1,176 joules

of potential energy.

Your machine takes 2,000 joules of energy to give the block
the 1,176 joules that it takes.

Your machine is only (1176 / 2000) = 58.8% efficient .

The other 'missing' 824 joules of energy doesn't just disappear.
It heats the machine, and the air around it. The final result is
that when you use that machine to lift blocks, you have to use
even MORE energy, to blow cool air on the machine and prevent
it from overheating and breaking.

Which of the following undercut farmers in developing countries?

stira [4]

Answer: Might it be B? Either B or C.

Explanation: I would suggest B since developing country farmers suffer when other countries export cheap foods to them. This creates competition and can hurt the farmers’ source of income, essentially undercutting them. If it isn’t B, it has to be C since I got D wrong :)
