Answer:
D. Active transport.
Explanation:
Active transport is the method that uses the ATP's energy to move ions and molecules from one side to the other of the membrane. The elements move from a place of lower concentration to one of a higher concentration. They move against their concentration gradient, which is why they need the energy to do it. There are two types of active transport, primary and secondary.
The primary active transport is ion pumps that hydrolyze ATP using one of the phosphates of the ATP to change the pump's shape and move the elements against their concentration gradient. It uses the ATP's energy directly.
The secondary active transport does not use ATP directly. It uses the electrochemical gradient that the primary transport had created when hydrolyzing ATP to transport the ions and molecules.
D is the correct answer to this question. Here is a chart of energy transfer.
The answer is light.
One of the factors that affect photosynthesis is light. Without light, the photosynthetic rate is reduced or even stopped which consequently affect algal growth. With increasing depth in the ocean, there is less sunlight present. Still, a<span>lgae have accessory photosynthetic plastids other than the chloroplasts</span><span> that can absorb different light in greater ocean depths. This helps them to maximum use sunlight in such conditions. But, in the end, at some particular depth, they would not be able to survive.</span>
If scientists believe that the newly discovered gene has two alleles A and a and that the alleles show incomplete dominance, the best way to prove this is to look for subjects who are homozygous with respect to the different alleles. The offsprings will all have the genotype of Aa and if indeed, the alleles show incomplete the dominance, the traits of the first generation will not manifest completely but a mixture of two will.
