Why does the cell sometimes have to expend energy to move individual molecules across the cell membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
Crazy boy [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Normally, molecules move naturally down a concentration gradient [From an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration] by a process called diffusion. However, sometimes the concentration of the needed substance is higher in the cell than out of it, so the cell uses a different process called Active Transport. Unlike Diffusion, Active transport requires energy, as it is going against a concentration gradient.

Cells expend energy to move cells across the cell membrane as they use Active transport rather than diffusion.

H S G Low temperature and High temperature.
When H is negative and S positive and G negative there will be spontaneous low temperature and spontaneous high temperature. When H is negative, and S is negative and temperature dependent then the low temperature will be spontaneous and high temperature will be non-spontaneous. When H is positive and S is positive then the temperature dependent and low temperature are non-spontaneous and high temperature will be spontaneous. When H will be positive and S is negative then G will be positive, the low temperature will be non-spontaneous and high temperature will also be non-spontaneous.

Debora [2.8K]
The zygote simply is the fertilized ovum or egg cell or female reproductive cell. It is the result of the process of fertilization of the fusion of the male reproductive cell (gamete) and the female reproductive cell ( gamete). In human, the zygote is the resulted cell of fertilization of the sperm and the ovum. It is diploid or 2N which means it contains two sets of chromosomes; one set from the male and the other from the female.

The gamete is the reproductive cell. There are two types of gametes; male gamete and female gamete. In human, the male gamete is called the sperm and the female gamete is called the ovum. The gamete is the last stage of the reproductive cells to be completely formed.

Fertilization is the fusion of the male gamete and the female gamete to form the zygote. Fertilization may be external as in fish or internal as in human.

This describes how many protons reside in the nucleus and identifies the element.
denpristay [2]

Answer: D. Atomic Number

Explanation:

Atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom the element. An atom has three fundamental particles: protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom while electrons are found outside the nucleus. The atomic number of an element determines the properties of the element. No two atoms of different elements have the same atomic number, but two or more atoms of the same element can have the same atomic number but different atomic masses. When atoms of the same element have the same atomic number but different atomic masses, they are said to be isotopes.
