What is a non-example of concentration gradient

Biology

Hello,

concentration gradient
<span> is the process of particles, which are sometimes called solutes, moving through a solution or gas from an area with a higher number of particles to an area with a lower number of particles. The areas are typically separated by a membrane.

correct me if i'm wrong!

But since concentration gradient is the process of particles, then </span><span>Sedimentation is the tendency for </span>particles<span> in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they settle as individual </span>particles<span> and do </span>not<span> flocculate</span><span>

Answer:

Active transport

The active transport requires an energy expenditure to transport the molecule from one side of the membrane to the other, but the active transport is the only one that can transport molecules against a concentration gradient, just as the diffusion facilitated the active transport is limited by the number of transport proteins present

Explanation:

Two major categories of active, primary and secondary transport are of interest. The primary active transport uses energy (generally obtained from ATP hydrolysis), at the level of the same membrane protein producing a conformational change that results in the transport of a molecule through the protein.

The best known example is the Na + / K + pump. The Na + / K + pump performs a countertransport ("antyport") transports K + into the cell and Na + outside it, at the same time, spending on the ATP process.

The secondary active transport uses energy to establish a gradient across the cell membrane, and then uses that gradient to transport a molecule of interest against its concentration gradient.

An example of this mechanism is as follows: Escherichia coli establishes a proton gradient (H +) between both sides of the membrane using energy to pump protons out of the cell. Then these protons are coupled to lactose (a sugar that serves as a nutrient for the microorganism) at the level of lactose-permease (another transmembrane protein), lactose permease uses the energy of the proton moving in favor of its concentration gradient to transport lactose inside the cell.

This transport coupled in the same direction through the cell membrane is called cotransport ("symport"). Escherichia coli uses this type of mechanism to transport other sugars such as ribose and arabinose, as well as numerous amino acids

List three characteristics specific to each: prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Murrr4er [49]
There are several specific characteristics for procaryote and eucaryote:
- Procaryotes has a cell wall, in addition to the cell membrane.
- procaryotes has chromatin in the cytoplasm, they do not have a nucleus.
- Procaryotes are small cells visible only at the microscope with x100 objective.

About the eucaryotic cells:
- Eucaryotes have mitochondria, 
- Eucaryotes have endoplasmic reticulum
- Eucaryotes have a nucleus with DNA chromatin and nucleoli inside it.
- Eucaryotes are visible in the microscope x40

Answer:

Explanation:

Bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons. In a covalent bond, two atoms share one or more electrons. Water is a polar molecule. A hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond between two oppositely partially charged sides of two or more molecules.

A fish that normally lives in salty water is placed in a tank containing fresh water. What do you think will happen to the cells
lapo4ka [179]

Salt water fish actually drink the salt water, excrete the salt, and are left with unsalted water in their body; they do this because the sea water, through the process of osmosis, draws out water from the body. <span>
When they are placed in fresh water, they continue to drink the water, but since the water is now less saline that the fish, water is no longer being drawn out, and in most cases (especially if the transfer was too quick), will start absorbing water, hence they will typically die. </span>
