Materials in cells may be transported by passive or active processes, both of which may involve concentration gradients, the phospholipid bilayer, and membrane proteins. Part A: Compare the role of concentration gradients in passive and active transport. Part B: Compare the role of the phospholipid bilayer in passive and active transport. Part C: Compare the role of membrane proteins in passive and active transport.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Concentration gradients:

Passive transport: In favor ----> Simple Diffusion and  facilitated diffusionActive transport: Against

Phospholipid bilayer

Passive transport: Small particles or molecules can pass through the membrane----> Simple diffusionActive transport: Big particles or molecules need proteins to pass from one side to the other of the membrane

Membrane proteins

Passive transport: Channel proteins in favor of electrochemical gradient---> Facilitated diffusionActive transport: Transporters or carrier proteins help molecules to pass to the other side of the membrane the electrochemical gradient.

Explanation:

Diffusion: Refers to the pass of some small polar hydrophilic molecules through the lipidic bilayer. There are momentary membrane openings that allow small molecules to freely move from one side to the other in favor of the electrochemical gradient. These openings are the result of the lipids movements. The membrane permeability depends on the size of the molecule. The bigger the molecule is, the less capacity to cross the membrane it has. Diffusion is a very slow process, and to be efficient requires short distances and pronounced concentration gradients.  

Facilitated diffusion: Occurs when big hydrophilic molecules cannot move freely across the membrane. In these situations, channel proteins are in charge of passive transport. Facilitated diffusion also occurs in favor of electrochemical gradients, meaning that molecules move from the more concentrated side to the less concentrated side.

Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are passive transport processes because the cell does not need any energy to make it happen.

Active transport is against the electrochemical gradient, so it does need energy to happen. Molecules move from a lower concentration side to a higher concentration side. This process is always in charge of carrier proteins. In primary active transport, the energy needed comes from the ATP molecule. In secondary active transport, the energy comes from the membrane electric potential.

Transmembrane proteins act in active and passive transport, connecting cells, and participating in signal transduction.    

Channel proteins act by passive transport (these proteins do not need energy to carry in or out substances. They do it according to an electrochemical gradient) and carrier proteins act during active transport (these proteins do need the energy to transport substances because they do it against an electrochemical gradient). These transmembrane proteins carry in those substances needed by the cells to properly perform their activities, and they can also carry out waste substances.

Answers

Explanation:

Wheat has flowers similar to those in Fig. 5.1, but reproduces by self-pollination. Explain the consequences of self-pollination for a population of plants.

Answers

Answer:

The transfer of mature pollen grain from anther of the flower to the stigma of the same flower of the same [species  is called self pollination.

Generally, the transfer of pollen grains by wind,animals,and water  to stigmas is called pollination. It is a means of vegetative propagation which ensures reproduction.

Therefore during self pollination, the same genes are distributed  from one generation to another. Thus genetic purity is ensured. It also ensured reproductive success. because there is little chance of the pollen grain getting lost in transit. It is also certain  a particular plant would always breed true.

Additionally it prevent  the process of transfer of genes in some transgenic crops( rice, maize) where through genetic engineering some genes are introduced in their genome.

The only negative effect is lack of genetic diversity. Therefore after a period of time the plants get  weak and prone to diseases and infection. Because of poor resistant from lack of variation.

Answers

Answer:

C. Double helix

Explanation:

The twisted ladder shape that DNA has can also be called a double helix.

It is in the shape of a helix, which is similar to a 3D spiral shape.

It is called a double helix because DNA is made up of two DNA helix strands that are intertwined.

So, C is the correct answer.

Answer:

The answer is C. double helix.

Explanation:

DNA is constructed through two threads or strands winded around each other in the shape of a twisted ladder - hence one of the shape of a DNA's most prominent nicknames (that is, twisted ladder). Additionally, it is even more commonly known as a double helix. In fact, the term double helix was especially created to describe DNA!

What is the probability of producing a roan (red and white) cow when a white cow is crossed with a red cow?

Cross: RR x WW

Answers

Answer:

A cross between a roan bull (Ww) and a white cow (ww) produces roan and white phenotypes in a 1:1 ratio.

Explanation:

Two alleles are influencing the color of the hair of the cow-W red and w white.

These alleles show that a hybrid Ww has red hair. The genotype of the bull is Ww, WW is red and ww is white. So, mixing the red and white cows is 1:1.

Explain digestion Process.​

Answers

Answer:

Each bite passes through several "cells" within the digestive system, and each of them has a specific function in terms of processing uneaten food.

Explanation:

The food begins to be processed in the mouth and prepared for the upcoming digestion process.

Saliva is important for food processing, among other things because it contains the enzyme ptyalin (alpha-amylase), which is responsible for the breakdown of starch and glycogen and continues its activities in the stomach.

Well-chewed food passes through the pharynx to the esophagus. During the swallowing of food, the opening of the trachea is closed, although it is possible that some crumb of food strays and causes a strong cough, which expels the excess from the trachea.

From the esophagus, food comes into the stomach, which is surrounded by ribs. Stomach acid is extremely strong and enables the conversion of food into liquid, which facilitates the further process of digestion.

Food from the stomach continues its way through the digestive tract to the duodenum, from the duodenum it reaches the small intestine.

Food processing in the large intestine is the last phase of digestion of food in the digestive tract. When the waste materials reach it, they need up to 24 hours to pass through the large intestine and reach the other end.

(Note: Needs to be detailed) [this is more of a Geology question]

Answers

Answer:

The carrying power of a small, mountain stream in the mountains with that of a slow large river that is about to enter the sea is explained below in details.

Explanation:

A mountain stream is a river or stream, normally with a sheer slope, running down a mountainside. Stream velocity is most noted in midstream near the exterior and is crawling along the stream bottom and shores due to friction.

The river stalls down at the entrance, so it doesn't have the energy to carry all the sand, dirt, and clay anymore. These deposits create the flat, regularly triangle-shaped tract of a delta.

Answers

Answer:

There are 60 grams of the salt in 12 teaspoon of it

Explanation:

We can rephrase the question by saying, if 1 teaspoon has 5.00 grams of salt, how many grams does 12 teaspoon have? We can then equate the answer by doing the following

1 teaspoon = 5 grams

12 teaspoon = ?

Cross-multiply

? = 12 × 5/1

? = 60 grams

There are 60 grams of the salt in 12 teaspoon of it

Marine biotechnology can be used to produce genetically modified (GM) fish with preferred traits. Some opponents of genetic modification argue that the release of these fish can have a negative impact on natural ecosystems. Is this a valid concern, and can anything be done to minimize the impact on nature

Answers

Incomplete question. The options;

a) yes, gm fish could alter biodiversity if they mate with fish in the wild. This impact is best minimized by producing gm fish that are sterile.

b) yes, gm fish can alter biodiversity if they mate with fish in the wild. This impact is best minimized by tracking the released fish and capturing them.

c) no, gm fish cannot impact natural ecosystems because they are likely to die in the wild. There is no need to be concerned about the impact to nature.

d) no, gm fish cannot impact natural ecosystems because they are designed.

e) there is no need to be concerned about the impact to nature.

Answer:

a) yes, gm fish could alter biodiversity if they mate with fish in the wild. This impact is best minimized by producing gm fish that are sterile.

Explanation:

Indeed, genetically modified (GM) fish basically refers to fish whose natural traits have been edited or adjusted by scientists. For example, they may be modified in such a way that they feed more and grow faster than is usual for wild fish. Biodiversity is altered when these GM fish begin to consume more food and also producing offsprings with similar traits, over time this would make it difficult for natural wild fishes to find food; reducing their population, thereby impacting nature.

However, if GM fish are produced to be sterile (ie cannot reproduce offsprings), it could easily lead to a balance in the population of the natural ecosystem.
