How does passive transport occur?​

Biology
1 answer:
Setler [38]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion through a permeable membrane moves a substance from an area of high concentration (extracellular fluid, in this case) down its concentration gradient (into the cytoplasm).

Viewed from ecliptic north, what is the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) of Venus around its axis? Of Earth
denis23 [38]
<span>If you were to look down at the plane of the solar system from its 'north pole' you would see the planets orbiting the Sun counter clockwise, and rotating on their axis counterclockwise. Except for Venus. Venus would be rotating clockwise as it orbited the Sun counterclockwise. Venus is not alone. The axis of Uranus is inclined so far towards the plane of the solar system that it almost rolls on its side as it orbits the Sun.</span>

Why does a larger quantity of water take longer to freeze ?
igomit [66]

Answer:

If the water is initially hot, cooled water at the bottom is denser than the hot water at the top, so no convection will occur and the bottom part will start freezing while the top is still warm. This effect, combined with the evaporation effect, may make hot water freeze faster than cold water in some cases.

Which two processes that occur during the formation of gametes contribute to increasing diversity within a populations gene pool
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1) Crossing over

2) Independent assortment.

Explanation:

Gametes are formed resulting from the process of meiosis where the gametes get half of the original number of chromosomes. One phenomenon that happens during the prophase 1 of Meiosis and leads to the genetic diversification is crossing over. In this process , Here, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange information present on genes from one another. When information is exchanged, it leads to the diversity of genetic data.

The second way of increasing genetic diversity is independent assortment that takes place during metaphase 1. In this process chromosomes from both father and mother cells align on equatorial plate of the cell in an independent manner. This means that some gamete can have 1 of many different chromosomal combinations.

This reshuffling of chromosomes during independent assortment enhances the genetic diversity of any organism and this also explains why kids of same parents can look or behave very different.

Hope it help!

Which descriptions apply to prokaryotic cells? Check all that apply.
tester [92]

Answer:

1. Are usually single-celled.

2. Do not contain membrane-bound organelles

3. Have DNA located in cytoplasm

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms which have the following characters:

1. They lack a true nucleus and hence, they do not have their genetic material enclosed in a nuclear membrane-bound nucleus, rather it is present in the cytoplasm.

2. They lack all the membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.

3. They are usually. very small in size and hence are microscopic.

Examples include all the bacterias.
