There are many cells in your body that use pumps to move molecules. For example, your nerve cells (neurons) would not send messages to your brain unless you had protein pumps moving molecules by active transport. The sodium-potassium pump (Figure below) is an example of an active transport pump! Have a nice day

Answer:

The most common example of a molecular pump in the human body is the pump for sodium and potassium.

Explanation:

Sodium ions and ATP bind to the pump to use energy to change the shape. The sodium then leaves and the potassium can now bind due to the shape change. The potassium ions are then released and the pump goes back to normal for the cycle to repeat again.

Mr Ackah, a retired teacher had been recording consistent increase of blood pressure for the past five year. what accounted for
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Change in the vascular system.

Explanation:

High blood pressure occurs when the arteries in the human body system become rigid thereby making the blood pressure rise.

The cause for this situation particularly in older people is the changes in the vascular system or circulatory system.

This is said to be vasoconstriction which lowers the flow of blood in the circulatory system, thereby causing high blood pressure

Hence, since Mr. Ackah is a retired teacher, it is believed that he is an old man susceptible to changes in the vascular system or vasoconstriction.

What differences do you see in the molecular shape of CO2 and NH3?
VMariaS [17]

The NH3 molecular geometry (molecular shape) is trigonal pyramidal. The NH3 bond angles are 107 degrees because the hydrogen atoms are repelled by the lone pair of electrons on the Nitrogen atom.
