What is the main difference between active and passive transport?

Biology
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

B)the energy required

Explanation:

The difference between active and passive transport is in the amount of energy they both require.

  • Active transport requires energy to move molecules such as ATP and ions against a concentration gradient.
  • Passive transport moves molecules from higher concentration region to one with lower concentration without requiring energy.

Energy is the ability to do work. In passive transport, energy is not used. But in active transport, energy is required.

JulijaS [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Decrease in burning of fossil fuels will affect carbon cycle the most. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Carbon compounds circulate within the biosphere as part of carbon cycle.  In terrestrial ecosystems Plants acquire carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and in aquatic ecosystems plankton absorb carbon dioxide.  

Dead plants bodies deposited underground for a large number of years get converted to fossil fuels and the burning of these fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is also released into the atmosphere through processes like respiration and decomposition of dead organic matter. If burning of fossil fuels is decreased it will be the carbon cycle which will be affected the most.

What are three stages of interphase?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

There are three stages of interphase: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis of new DNA ), and G2 (second gap). Cells spend most of their lives in interphase, specifically in the S phase where genetic material must be copied. The cell grows and carries out biochemical functions, such as protein synthesis, in the G1 phase.

How do the cells in meiosis differ from the cells in mitosis
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
The purpose of mitosis is cell regeneration, growth, and asexual reproduction,while the purpose of meiosis is the production of gametes for sexual reproduction. Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two nuclei that are usually partitioned into two new daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from a mitotic division are genetically identical to the original nucleus. They have the same number of sets of chromosomes, one set in the case of haploid cells and two sets in the case of diploid cells. In most plants and all animal species, it is typically diploid cells that undergo mitosis to form new diploid cells. In contrast, meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions resulting in four nuclei that are usually partitioned into four new haploid daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from meiosis are not genetically identical and they contain one chromosome set only. This is half the number of chromosome sets in the original cell, which is diploid.
