What is the role of the protein pumps?

Biology
1 answer:
levacccp [35]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Pumps, also called transporters, are transmembrane proteins that actively move ions and/or solutes against a concentration or electrochemical gradient across biological membranes. One moves with the concentration gradient (high to low) which powers the movement of the other against the gradient (low to high).

How do scientists use seismic waves to determine the interior structure of Earth?
Rom4ik [11]
<span>Much of our understanding of the basic structure and composition of Earth and the other planets in our solar system is not strenuously debated. We can infer a surprising amount of information from the size, mass and moment of inertia of the planets, all of which can be determined from routine astronomical observations. Measurements of surface chemical composition, either by direct sampling (as has been done on Earth, the moon, and Mars) or through spectroscopic observations, can be used to estimate elemental abundances and the degree of chemical differentiation that occurred as the planets condensed from the solar nebula. Remote observations of the gravitational field can be used to understand how a planet's mass is distributed, whereas the strength and shape of the magnetic field provides some constraint on the structure of a metallic core. The specifics of structure and composition, however, are much more debatable. And it is these details that tell us a much more extensive and ultimately more interesting story about the internal dynamics of the planets and their evolution. As a result, trying to determine them is frontier research in almost all fields of earth and planetary science.

Evolutionary theory predicted that bacterial resistance would happen. Given time, heredity and variation, any living organisms including the bacteria will evolve when a selective pressure, in this case an antibiotic is introduced. However it also gives doctors an patient some specific strategies for delaying even more widespread evolution of antibiotic resistance; these strategies include; avoid mild doses of antibiotics over long time periods, don't use antibiotics to treat viral infections, when treating bacterial infection with antibiotics, take all the pills, and also using combination of drugs to treat a bacterial infection.
