Active Transport involves the movement of molecules such as solutes from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration against concentration gradient using ATP. The transport of solutes across membrane is mediated by carriers called pumps. All the groups of ATP powered pumps contain one or more binding sites for the ATP, which are present on the cytosolic face of the membrane. Uptake of minerals or ions into the root hair cells of the plants from the soil is an example of active transport.

What is the primary function of carbohydrates attached to the exterior of cell membranes?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is : a. Identification of the cell

Explanation:

The cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, is a semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of the cell, that protects and separates the interior of the cells from the external environment.

The carbohydrate layer of the cell membrane is known as the glycocalyx. In eukaryotes, the carbohydrates present on the surface of the cell membrane play a important role in the cell-cell recognition and share information.

A postsynaptic potential is a graded potential that is the result of a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two ne

Ksju [112]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

What are linked genes?

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Genes lying close to each other on chromosome

Explanation:

When genes lie close to each other on chromosome, they are inherited together as an intact unit in meiosis cell division and such genes are termed as linked genes.During meiosis the genetic material (allele/genes) is exchanged between the homologous parent chromosome which causes chromosome recombination and thus the formation of linkages These genes have high chances of recombination as they lie close to each other.
