How is active transport different from simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

Biology

Reika [66]2 years ago

Answer:

Active transport is when substances move against the concentration gradient and go from low to high. Diffusion is when substances move with the concentration gradient and go from high to low.

Active transport uses energy but diffusion and facilitated diffusion doesn’t that why they differ from each other

hopefully that helps :)

Identify the true statements about RNA interference. Duplex RNA (dsRNA) can suppress the expression of a gene. miRNAs are short,
AlekseyPX

Answer:

- Duplex RNA (dsRNA) can suppress the expression of a gene.

- miRNAs are short, single strands approximately 21 nucleotides long.  

- miRNAs suppress gene expression by interfering with transcription.  

- RNA interference can temporarily suppress the expression of a target gene.

Explanation:

The RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism is a naturally occurring biological process by which an organism suppresses gene expression by using sequence-specific small non-coding RNAs that are complementary to RNA (posttranscriptional silencing) or DNA (transcriptional silencing) sequences. Since its discovery, this mechanism has been exploited in molecular biology to control the expression of target genes. There are different classes of non-coding RNAs which are able to trigger RNAi gene silencing: microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs, only present in animals), etc. During their functioning, these non-coding RNAs are loaded into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to direct them to target sequences and trigger RNAi (for example, by cleaving target mRNAs). miRNAs are short, evolutionary conserved RNAs, that associate to the RISC complex in order to trigger both transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene silencing. During their biogenesis, small non-coding RNAs are double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), but they lose a strand (the passenger strand) when associate with the RISC complex, conserving only one strand (the guide strand) that bind by complementary base pairing to target sequences (either DNA in the nucleus or RNA in the cytoplasm).

All of the following except __________ developed in some vascular plants and are not present in any nonvascular plants.All of th
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Vascular plants have separate tubular tissues such as xylem, phloem for smooth transport of water, minerals and food while non-vascular plants do not show these attributes.

Explanation:

Although both life cycles are divided between the sporophytic and gametophytic generations, vascular plants have a dominant diploid sporophytic phase while non-vascular plants have a dominant haploid gametophytic phase.

Non-vascular plants are poikilohydric (they can withstand dehydration and can recover without any damage to their tissues), though they cannot control the water level in their cells and tissues. On the other hand, vascular plants are homoiohydry. They can survive in any habitat and can control the water content in cells and tissues, though they have low capacity to survive dessication compared to the non-vascular plants.

Non-vascular plants do not have true leaf. The leaves are mere chlorophyll containing. Photosynthesized food are directly sent from one cell to the other. They lack proper transport mechanism for food and water.

On the other hand, the vascular plants have complex multilayered leaf (cells) structure. The waxy layer cuticles on the leaves prevent dessication. That are more chlorophyll containing than their counterpart.

What are forces that combine and form a net force that is not zero
kogti [31]
Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero are balanced forces. As shown in the figure on the opposite page, balanced forces do not change the motion of an object. Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force that is not zero are unbalanced forces.
