The reason as to why the breaks of a vehicle becomes hot
when they are continuously used is because of the fact that the kinetic energy that
is being used is being converted to a thermal energy, causing the brakes of the
vehicle to be hot.
Biomass is the total mass of a specific organism in the area. If there is a negative value of change in shoot biomass, that mean the mass of the shoot in this period are less than before. This indicate increases in predation/death which reduce the population of the shoot more than its growing rate. The cause could be an increases in predator population or decreases in food/resource.
Answer:
c. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
Explanation:
Osmosis is the passive transport of water molecules from the region of their higher concentration to that of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis does not include the movement of solutes. When two solutions with different concentrations of solutes are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water moves through the membrane from a hypotonic solution to the hypertonic solution until equilibrium is obtained. This process is called osmosis.
The answer to this question is
Is diffusion active or passive transport of particles across the cell membrane?
"Passive Transport"

Answer:
The defective Na+/K+ ATPase is not able to dephosphorylate itself.
Explanation:
Na+/K+ ATPase pump cycles between two different forms: the phosphorylated form of the Na+/K+ ATPase has a high affinity for K+ ions and low affinity for Na+ ions. The release of phosphate from ATP and phosphorylation of Na+/K+ ATPase makes the pump to release the bound 3 Na+ ions outside the cell and to bind to the 2 K+ ions from the surroundings. As the Na+/K+ ATPase is dephosphorylated, its affinity for K+ ions is reduced leading to the release of K+ inside the cell.
A defective Na+/K+ ATPase that is able to pick and bind the K+ ions but is not able to shuttle them across the membrane should be defective to achieve its dephosphorylated form. Without releasing phosphate, the affinity of the pump for K+ ions is not reduced and the pump would not be able to release them to the opposite side of the membrane.
