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

Landscape in which limestone is eroded to form deep valleys and caverns
irina [24]
The landscape in which limestone is eroded to form deep valleys and cavers are called Karst landscape or karst topography. This kind of development start occuring whenever the acidic water starts breaking down the bedrocks near the cracks. As the bedrock starts breaking down slowly, the cracks start to open up creating bigger holes. with passage of time the holes will become big enough to create an underground drainage system for the surface water to flow and form underneath. If the water is unable to flow out and becomes stagnant, then the Karst will start getting bigger.

Leto [7]

Answer:

Behavioural

Explanation:

There are three components of behaviour that makes us act and think in a way that allows us to run our lives the way we feel comfortable and these are

  1. Behavioural
  2. Cognitive and
  3. Affective

In terms of Behavior, this component is the one that drives the way a person will behave towards a certain thing. In this case, an undesired pregnancy. This will be for the benefit of the person in long or short term and will provoke them in a way to take precautionary measures.
