A type of transport protein found in the plasma membrane of cells lining the inside of the intestine allows sodium ions to diffu

se down their concentration gradient. The ions move through the transport protein, and into the cell. These transport proteins will use the kinetic energy of the diffusing sodium ions to bring glucose into the cells as well. This transport protein would best be described as
a. Stopping the activity of the sodium potassium pump.
b. Increasing the concentration of glucose outside of the cell.
c. Lowering the energy of activation.
d. Increasing the number of digestive enzymes in the digestive tract.

Answer:

<em>The transport protein would best be described as the activity of the sodium potassium pump. However, none of the alternatives are correct.  </em>

Explanation:

<em>Letter A: stopping the activity of the sodium potassium pump is incorrect because, it is the only mechanism of transport our organism has to move proteins into the cell. So, if we stop it or inhibit the sodium potassium pump, we will cause damage into the heart and intestine cells.</em>

<em>Letter B: Increasing the concentration of glucose outside of the cell is incorrect because, on normal conditions the glucose tends to outflow the cell, so the correct answer would be reduce the concentration of glucose outside of the cell, so that the amount of the glucose remain inside of the cell.</em>

Letter C: lowering the energy of activation has nothing to do with this process at all.

Letter D: Increasing the number of digestive enzymes does not have anything to do with this process neither.

The letter A could be the write answer, if could delete the word stopping.

WITCHER [35]
<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>

Arrange the events of the earliest stellar formation in sequential order.
notka56 [123]

Answer;

Arrangement of events in stellar formation;

C) The Big Bang occurs.

B) Pockets of elements in higher concentrations begin experiencing greater gravitational force.

A) Hydrogen atoms shed their electrons and fuse together to form larger helium atoms.

D) the glass clouds begin reducing in volume, which leads to increase in density, pressure, and temperature.

Explanation;

-Stellar evolution is the process by which a star changes over the course of time. All stars are born from collapsing clouds of gas and dust, often called nebulae or molecular clouds.

-Stars are born out of the gravitational collapse of cool, dense molecular clouds. As the cloud collapses, it fragments into smaller regions, which themselves contract to form stellar cores.

A snowshoe hare produces a white coat during the winter, allowing it to better hide from predators. As a result, it has thrived
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

A snowshoe hare produces a white coat during the winter, allowing it to better hide from predators. As a result, it has thrived and over time a majority of snowshoe hares in the population also produce white coats in the winter. Which of the statements is/are true?

The white-coated hare has a competitive advantage in its environment.

The new population of hares resulted from natural selection.

Explanation:

The analogy shown above describes the law of natural selection which explains why the organism that fits into a new environment survives as a result of inheritance of a distinct trait that differentiate them from others. Also, the organism has greater advantage over the environment because it has device means of survival over time

Gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide cross the plasma membrane by
USPshnik [31]
Well, the cell membrane is full of a bunch of little holes. Sort of like a coffee filter.

What does a coffee filter do? Well, you put the coffee in it and run water through it. Then what?

The water is small enough to pass through the filter and bring some of the coffee with it. But the coffee grains are too big to pass through the filter. If we really wanted the coffee grains to get through the filter, we could force them through. Do you want chunks in your coffee? Eww. 

Now the cell membrane is the same way, the little things (water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, sugar) are all small enough to fit through the tiny holes in the cell membrane. This is called, "Passive Transport". Because the things can passively float their way in and out of the cell.

Now some other things are too big to fit through, so to make them fit, the cell has to use energy to open itself a little bit more to let them in. This is called, "Active Transport". Because the cell needs to be active and use energy to let those things in.

So to answer your question>>

The Gasses, such as Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide, cross the Cell Membrane(Plasma Membrane) by "Passive Transport".
