Answer: A). Active transport requires chemical energy to move nutrients from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration.

Explanation:

Sometimes cells require nutrients such as sodium and potassium to be transported from an area where they are in low concentration to an area where they are in high concentration.

This goes against the concentration gradient where substances are transported from an area of high concentration to one with low concentration as is the case in processes such as osmosis.

This process is called Active transport and describes the use of chemical energy to move nutrients from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration.

Give two reasons that the rat population is not a hardy Weinberg equilibrium
Mumz [18]
1. The population is under selection pressure from predators 
<span>2. Hey now, no population is ever at H-W equilibrium: </span>
<span>mutations happen </span>
<span>immigration and emigration can occur </span>
<span>the population is not huge, which means that genetic drift can happen </span>
<span>mating is not completely random -- a rat is more likely to mate with someone local than with someone living in Paris, France. </span>

<span>b) The small rats will be selected for (assuming there are predators in this ecosystem that are less likely to look in bushes, and further assuming that the small rats do not have reduced fertility by dint of being small) </span>
<span>This is "directional selection" </span>

<span>c) I would expect the "smallness" allele frequency to increase in this population over time, and the "normal size" allele frequency to decrease.</span>
