Which statement is true of both active transport and facilitated diffusion?
enyata [817]

The correct answer is option (D) The active transport and the facilitated diffusion both involve the proteins present in the cell membrane.

Facilitated diffusion transport the large and the charged molecules through the protein transport channels present in the cell membrane. In this case, the solute move from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration and it does not require energy.

Active transports takes place when the molecules move from a region of lower concentration to higher concentration via the membrane protein channels.

Both facilitated diffusion and active transport requires the proteins present in the cell membrane.

Give an example of how a biome is an open system from the point of view of the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphe
Karolina [17]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the biome is in fact an open system due to the interactions between the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere.

<h3>What is the biome?</h3>
  • The biome is the collection of air, soil, water, and all the organisms that reside within these ecosystems.
  • In order to describe an open system, we say that the system must have external interactions.
  • A biome is an open system because it has both internal and external interactions, such as with asteroids in space.
  • The internal interactions include the ones between the<em><u> biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere.</u></em>
  • A prime example is the movement of water through each of the spheres.

Therefore, since each part of the biome interacts with each other as well as with external sources such as space, we can confirm that it complies with the definition of an open system.
