active transport. The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane in the direction opposite that of diffusion, that is, from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration. Active transport requires the assistance of a type of protein called a carrier protein, using energy supplied by ATP.
Answer: strong roots
Explanation:
Plants situated in fast-flowing area of a stream (aquatic environment) require certain body features to help them adapt to the fast blowing tides or waves of water, these include:
- a long slender stem
- strong roots for attachment and to withstand being uprooted by fast blowing tides
- waxy leaves and stem with intracellular air spaces to maintain buoyancy and float above the water
Answer:
Notice the large difference in the number of hydrogen ions on the two sides of the membrane. This difference is a hydrogen ion, or proton, concentration gradient. The energy associated with this gradient is used to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. This occurs at the ATP synthase complex.

UV is an environmental human carcinogen. It’s the most prominent and universal cancer-causing agent in our environment. There is very strong evidence that each of the three main types of skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma) is caused by sun exposure. Research shows that as many as 90% of skin cancers are due to UV radiation.
Answer: It will affect muscle contraction because it is needed for the formation of muscle contraction cross-bridge.
Explanation: During muscle contraction calcium binds to troponin, a protein complex that regulates muscle contraction by exposing the binding site of actin filament. Actin filament active site is where myosin head binds to, creating a cross-bridge using enzyme ATPase to speed the reaction. Calcium ion are needed to activate troponin movement, otherwise it stays in its inactive form blocking the active site of actin filament. Without calcium ions, troponin will not move and there will be no muscle contractions.
