Answer:
Explanation:
Active transport is the movement of molecules or substance from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient.
Active transport requires cellular energy and are of two types:
primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.
Active transport helps in the uptake of glucose in the intestines.
Cotransport or secondary active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane it uses electrochemical potential difference that is created by pumping ions in or out of the cell.
Cotransport helps in the transport of glucose across the cell membrane.
A waste product is a product that is made but isn’t necessarily needed eg. A lightbulb will make light energy but it also makes a waste product heat.
Answer:
Ecological footprint estimates the requirements of renewable resources that a population consumes to live a particular lifestyle. Some ecologists are concerned because the result of the ecological footprint shows that the demand of the population is increasing in comparison to the supply of nature.
For example in India, the ecological footprint shows negative impact of population demand over supply of nature.
Answer:
Estrogen.
Explanation:
Plasma membrane is made of lipids and proteins. The lipids are arranged in bilayers and proteins are embedded or may span the lipid bilayer. The carbohydrates are attached on the surface of the membrane.
The molecules that are lipophillic in nature can easily diffuse through the plasma membrane. Among the molecules listed in the question, estrogen is highly lipophillic in nature and can easily cross the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane.
Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
