Answer:

False

Explanation:

Active transport is one of the two major kinds of transport (the other being passive transport). Active transport involves moving substances against their concentration gradient i.e. from where they are low in concentration to where they are high in concentration. Hence, energy input in form of ATP is required by the cell to make this occur.

As stated in this question, the Na+/K+ (sodium-pottasium) ATPase pump is an example of active transport, which requires energy to move sodium ions. However, in active transport, substances are moved from a lower concentration to a higher concentration and not otherwise as depicted in this question, hence, it is FALSE.

What is the basic formula for monosaccharides and how is the shape determined?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Monosaccharides are simple sugars with a basic formula Cⁿ (H2O)ⁿ. They are classified according to the number of carbon atoms they contain: tetroses (4), pentoses (5) and hexoses (6). There are also mosaccharides with 3 carbon atoms, for example the Dihydroxyacetone.

Explanation:

Monosaccharides have to be aldehydes (-CHO) or ketones (-COO) with more than one alcohol function, which will be located in different carbons.

The seeds of leguminous plants are a source of proteins. Nitrogen - fixing bacteria live in the roots of such plants. Do you thi
enyata [817]
Yes, Only bacteria can convert molecular nitrogen, into a form which can be utilized by other living beings such as plants. The nitrogen fixed by the bacteria, by this process, become available to the plants, which uptakes it, for their own growth, and is also accumulated in their seeds. Further, leguminous plants have nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with them in synergy. They provide the plant with additional nitrogen, and in exchange obtain nutrients from the plant, for their growth and division.
