How is passive transport different from active transport?

Biology
1 answer:
MArishka [77]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Passive transport does not require energy. The substances follow the concentration gradient, meaning they go from high to low. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient. Substances go from low to high, so it requires energy.

The number of possible genetically different gametes for an organism equals
masya89 [10]

The organism can produce 12 genetically different gametes.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The gametes are the unit of sexual reproduction which are produced by an organism from their germ mother cell by means of meiosis. This gametes do carry half the amount of total chromosomes that is present inside each cell of that organism. This process let's the genetic combinations of chromosomes to get more variations among offsprings. But this isn't the only source of variation among the offsprings.

Each and every germ mother cell that's undergoing the meiotic division undergoes a process called crossing over and chaismata formation which gives the genetic mixing among the different alleles of same character among the organism.

Thus, statistically, if the organism has n pairs of chromosomes, then the organism will be able to produce 2n number of genetically different gametes which helps in finding out the probability of genotype of the offsprings.

So if the organism has 6 pairs of chromosomes, then the organism will be able to produce 12 genetically different gametes.

What do anaerobic organisms have in common with photosynthetic organisms?
Dvinal [7]

Ans is option C. They both need an energy source in order to survive.

Energy is an absolute necessity to survive on this earth. All living organisms need energy be it anaerobic or photosynthetic.  Photosynthetic organisms can make their own food in the presence of sunlight by photosynthesis and harness energy from it. Anaerobic organisms can also make their own food in the absence of sunlight with the help of inorganic molecules like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), sulphur (S) etc.

Its just that anaerobic organism's way of harnessing energy is different from those of aerobes/photosynthetic organisms but they need energy source for sure.

Which of the following is an example of maintaining homeostasis? Learning Jumping Shivering Smiling
Anestetic [448]
The answer is D, sweating.

Homeostasis is where the body uses some mechanisms to maintain a optimum condition for the body to function. These conditions may include body temperature, blood glucose level etc.

Sweating is a mechanism that can help maintain the body temperature. During hot conditions, the sweat glands under the skin surface may produce sweat, which is then released to the skin surface. When the sweat is on the skin surface, they evaporate. During evaporation, heat energy is brought away from the skin as the sweat molecules that have a higher kinetic energy (=temperature) escaped from the sweat drop. The average temperature of the sweat is reduced. Eventually, the temperature of the body is decreased and this help maintain the suitable temperature for the body to function.

Therefore, your answer is D, sweating.
