What is a major difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?

Biology

ohaa [14]2 years ago

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is A) Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.</em></u>

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion can be described as the type of diffusion which occurs with the help of other molecules. For example, when integral proteins help in the transport of a molecule through the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport as it allows molecules to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration along a concentration gradient.

Active transport is the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient from an area of lower concentration to the area of higher concentration and hence, require energy.

Answer:

(Indian Leaf Butterfly) CAMOUFLAGED

(Monarch Butterfly) CHEMICAL DEFENSE and COLOURFUL WARNING SIGNALS

Explanation:

The Indian leaf butterflies survives by camouflaging to deceive a potential enemy. They could also seek survival by blending to their presents environment such that a supposed enemy finds it hard to identify with their presence.

The monarch Butterfly are very colourful and are super in defending themselves through chemical means.

By chemical defense, they do well to feed on milkweed which is highly poisonous but they have their way of isolating themselves from the consumed poison.

They also send away predators using their colourful warning signals and bright colours. This colours informs predators that they contain poisonous contents.

When a predator bites a monarch Butterfly, it taste the poisons in the wings of the butterfly and let it go. But if peradventure a birds swallows a monarch, the experience of the taste of the poisons teaches the bird never to hunt a monarch Butterfly again

Silver chloride combines with Copper (II) fluoride to yield Silver fluoride and Copper (II) chloride.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

2, 1, 2, 1

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Silver chloride reacts with Copper (II) fluoride to form Silver fluoride and Copper (II) chloride.

AgCl (aq) + CuF2 (aq) ----> AgF (s) + CuCl2 (aq)

The balanced chemical equation will be;

2AgCl (aq) + CuF2 (aq) ----> 2AgF (s) + CuCl2 (aq)

Balancing a chemical equation ensures that the Law of conservation of mass is conserved , such that the number of atoms of each element on either side of the equation is equal.
