Passive transport vs active transport sounds like what it is. In passive transport, there is no energy needed to get the molecules across the cell membrane, whereas in active transport, energy is expended getting the molecules across the membrane. Basically in active transport the ATP in your cells gives one of it’s phosphates to the transport proteins in your cell membrane and it lets select molecules in. These molecules are moving through a concentration gradient during active transport(with the help of ATP), from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

describe how Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection can explain the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms whi
NISA [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Darwin's theory of evolution is based on the premise of survival of the fittest; antibiotic-resistant microorganisms are selected by overuse of antibiotics".

Explanation:

Darwin's theory of evolution states that advantageous traits in living beings are selected under the premise of survival of the fittest, where the living beings with the advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. Darwin's theory of evolution explains the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, because resistance to antibiotics is an advantageous trait for microorganisms that are constantly in contact with antibiotics. The irresponsibly use of antibiotics leads to the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, because microorganisms that are naturally resistant to antibiotics are constantly selected and can reproduce and prosper.

Why is algae classified in the Protist Kingdom and not the Plant Kingdom even though they are photosynthetic? Research why some
KengaRu [80]
Algae are photosynthetic, but they are also unicellular organisms (Euglena) and shares some of the common features with plants as well as animals. They move like animals and perform photosynthesis like plants. Therefore, they are classified into Protists, and not the Algae. Their most features resemble the non-photosynthetic protozoa, and not plants, and therefore, are put into the Protista. 
They also lack a cell wall, which is a feature of plants.
Some scientists advocate their classification in plants because of their sexual mode of reproductiona, and formation of spores.
