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

which of the following statements regarding enzymes is true? (3 points) enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by making the re
ziro4ka [17]

Which is true about enzymes is: enzymes increase the rate of reactions by lowering the activation energy barrier.

Enzymes are chemical compounds in the form of proteins that act as biocatalysts which function to speed up reactions.

Enzymes work specifically, that is, they can only work on certain substrates by adjusting the shape of the substrate. Enzymes sensor with molecules for substrates to produce compounds through organic chemical reactions that require energy. Some of the reactions assisted by enzymes such as the breaking of large molecules into small ones or the binding of molecules into new molecules. Enzymes can do that because of the influence of the activation energy that every chemical reaction has.

Activation energy is the energy required to break down the reactants. The role of enzymes is to lower the activation energy limit needed to start reactions.

Which adaptation helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather? three layers
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The polar bear is an animal which is prevalent in the arctic region of the world which is characterized by very cold icy climate.

They adapt to these climatic conditions by maintaining a body temperature of 37°C through its thick fur and tough skin. It also has an insulating fat layer (adipose tissues) which is very thick.

This insulation helps in keeping the animal very warm in extreme temperatures.
