The Sodium-Potassium Pump. Active transport is the energy-requiring process of pumping molecules and ions across membranes "uphill" - against a concentration gradient. ... In active transport, as carrier proteins are used to move materials against their concentration gradient, these proteins are known as pumps.

Answer:

its passive transport

Explanation:

The sodium-potassium pump sets the membrane potential of the neuron by keeping the concentrations of Na+ and K+ at constant disequilibrium.

What is the role of alveoli in respiration
Burka [1]

Answer:

<em>What is the role of alveoli in respiration ⇔ Alveoli are the place where the exchange of gases takes place. The outer part of alveoli has blood vessels. These vessels are carrying Co2 rich blood to exchange at the alveoli. The O2 from the alveoli is diffused into the blood while co2 is sent into the lungs. That O2 rich blood is then carried to heart to pump it to the whole body. and this process continues. </em><em>The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.</em>

Explanation:

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

  1. Respiratory system
  2. Nervous system
  3. Circulatory system
  4. Integumentary system
  5. Endocrine system

Explanation:

During excessive hard work or sports, the respiratory system acts to provide sufficient oxygen for energy supply (ATP) - a process takes place in mitochondria. At the very beginning, the respiratory system is active. If the person doesn't intake sufficient water, he will feel tired because of heavy breathing that increases body temperature and affects metabolic reactions. A supply of water would help decrease the respiration need and so support other systems.

The nervous system (hypothalamus) regulates the body temperature which is necessary for metabolic reactions taking place within the body, i.e. homeostasis. During and after exercise, the water intake was not sufficient, this means that the hypothalamus would work to maintain the temperature as well as other metabolic mechanisms. In the case of less water intake, the nervous system would be in stress.

The circulatory system acts to transport blood and oxygen to all parts of the body. During sports activities, the oxygen supply would be high to maintain energy supply. This takes place with the combined action of the circulatory system and respiratory system. For optimal functioning, the circulatory system needs fluids (water) intake because sufficient water is already lost during sports.

The integumentary system is the system that directly protects the body from damages including dehydration. Therefore, in this case, it will be highly active.

The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones to control body metabolism. The body metabolism, as mentioned before, is driven through water availability. The reduced water in the body would also put the endocrine system under pressure.

Refer the the graph below showing the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a. Explain what the graph is showing
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: The graph shows that chlorophyll a absorbs light principally around 420-450 nm and 650-680nm wavelengths

Explanation: Chlorophyll a is a pigment found in plants that traps light energy for use in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a absorbs light mostly in the blue and orange-red wavelengths. This is shown in the graph, where the peaks are around the 400nm and 600nm wavelengths, corresponding to blue and red in visible light.

This absorption means the pigment is 'excited' by this light, sending into a higher state if energy which provides energy for the reactions of photosynthesis.
