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

Air pressure is ___________, when lung volume is___________.
nexus9112 [7]
Air pressure (inside the lungs) is lowest when lung volume is highest, so the answer is B. when you breathe in your lungs expand, which makes the air molecules spread out, therefore the pressure is lower.

A newly discovered solar system is found 300 billion kilometers from the sun. How many AU does this represent? Show your work.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

1 kilometer = 6.68 × 10^{-9} (<<<AU is in scientific notation here)

To convert 300 billion kilometer (3,000,000,000 km)  into AU you must multiply the kilometer by the equivalent of 1 km in AU (6.68 × 10^{-9})

3,000,000,000 × (6.68 × 10^{-9}) =  20.04 AU

Hope this helped!

Which of the following is FALSE about ribose and nucleotide and
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c) "It is necessary to have a completely functioning pentose phosphate pathway for a tissue to synthesize ribose phosphates".

Explanation:

While the pentose phosphate pathway is the most common way at which a tissue synthesize ribose phosphate, it is false to affirm that it is necessary for ribose phosphate synthesis. Tissues have alternatives to the pentose phosphate pathway to synthesize ribose phosphate. For instance, the nucleotide salvage or the salvage pathway allows tissues to synthesize ribose phosphate from intermediates in the degradative pathway for nucleotides.
