Which of the following is true of active transport?

Biology
1 answer:
denpristay [2]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D. Molecules called pumps function to control active transport.

Explanation:

Active transport is one of the two types of transport (the other being passive transport). It is the type of transport in which substances move against their concentration gradient i.e. from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Hence, due to this, energy input in form of ATP is required by the cell.

However, the process of active transport makes use of certain molecules called PUMPS to control it. The pumps moves ions/molecules against their concentration gradient. An example is the sodium-pottasium pump which moves sodium ions from a region of low conc. to a region of high conc.

Why do astronauts eat freeze dried food I space
zmey [24]
Food was cooked, quickly frozen, and then dehydrated in a special vacuum chamber. Freeze-dried food didn't need to be refrigerated and would last a long time. To make most freeze-dried foods, astronauts squeeze water into the food packages and then eat the food after it absorbs the water.

KATRIN_1 [288]
The round-seed allele would be termed as dominant. A dominant allele is always expressed. The non-dominant allele, or the recessive allele is overshadowed by the dominant. So in this case, the recessive allele would be the wrinkled-seed allele and the dominant one is the round-seed allele.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The mechanism by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules in order to obtain chemical energy for cell functions is known as cellular respiration. In the absence of oxygen, cells can generate energy by fermenting food, a mechanism known as anaerobic respiration.
