<u>Answer</u>:
<em>Sodium potassium pump works by following several steps.
</em>
<u>Explanation</u>:
<em>1. Carrier protein binds three molecules of Na+
</em>
<em>2. ATP is split, phosphate bonds to carrier.
</em>
<em>3. Carrier protein changes shape, and deposits Na on the outside of the cell.
</em>
<em>4. Carrier binds two molecules of K
</em>
<em>5. Phosphate is released.
</em>
<em>6. Potassium is released inside the cell
</em>
Sodium -potassium pump is essential to maintain the concentration of sodium and potassium outside and inside the cell respectively.
It is the function of sodium potassium pump to transport sodium out of the cell and potassium inside of the cell against a concentration gradient.
<em>Thus it is an active transport mechanism.
</em>
Answer:
involuntary; voluntary
Explanation:
Involuntary behaviors in organisms are unlearned behaviors exhibited as a reflex response to a stimuli around their environment. They are usually unconscious behaviors. On the other hand, voluntary behaviors are deliberate behaviors exhibited by an organism consciously. They are actually under the control of the organism, and can be learned.
If Inez blinks her eyes because a gnat flies close to them, that's involuntary. But if she then swats at the gnat, that's voluntary.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Diffusion is a passive process (no energy required) in which the substance such as liquid and gases moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
During respiration, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli and oxygen diffuses from alveoli to blood across the respiratory membrane. The partial pressure of oxygen is low in the blood of the pulmonary capillaries and high in the alveoli. so diffusion allow movement of oxygen across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the blood.
Hence, the given statement is true.
