Answer:

6. integral proteins

7. down; concentration

8. active transport

9. osmosis; pinocytosis

Explanation:

An integral protein is a protein that is permanently attached to a biological membrane. Some examples of integral membrane proteins include, for example, the insulin receptor, cell adhesion proteins (e.g., integrins), glucose permease, etc. Diffusion, also known as passive transport, refers to the process by which a substance/molecule tends to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Moreover, osmosis is a type of diffusion by which a solvent (e.g., water) moves across a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. Active transport refers to the movement of molecules/substances across a biological membrane against a concentration gradient. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport and secondary active transport. The primary active transport depends on a source of energy (e.g., ATP) for movement, whereas secondary active transport depends on electrochemical gradients to transport substances with the help of membrane transport proteins (i.e., cotransporters). Active transport involves ATP pumps that move ions into and out of the cell. Finally, endocytosis is the process by which cells absorb external material by engulfing them in transport vesicles, whereas pinocytosis refers to a type of endocytosis ​involving fluids that contain many solutes.

What is missing from the ecosystem during primary succession
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

competition

Explanation:

After an ecosystem has been destroyed because of certain catastrophe and all of the space that it occupied is totally cleared and open for overtaking, the primary succession comes in action. When the primary succession occurs, there's no competition, as pretty much everything has been destroyed from the previously existing ecosystem. The pioneers of the primary succession are organisms that do not require a lot to prosper, such as the mosses and lichens. As they start to cover the barren land, little by little they manage to change the composition of the rocks, thus resulting in the formation of the first soils. As that happens, the secondary succession comes on the horizon as now it has conditions for it, so the species from it overtake and replace the species form the primary succession.

zheka24 [161]

Tapping of geothermal energy to produce electricity is done on a larger scale compared to the tapping of the geothermal gradient using a geothermal heat pump. Harnessing geothermal energy is also reliant on geological conditions such as in the area of convection boundaries while geothermal gradient can be harnessed virtually anywhere on the earth surface.
