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

 I<span>t is important for Mendel to study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance because</span> higher sample size gives more accurate results.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

all of the above

Explanation:

All the statements are true that is Sweating is an example of positive feedback because when you sweat your body becomes hot and your inner body becomes cool.  Shivering is an example of negative feedback because shivering occurs when there is cold in the body and can lead to sickness. The nervous system is responsible for sensing changes in the environment because it is responsible for sensing what's going on in our body.
