Answer:
Active uptake (which I think you mean active transport) is important when the concentration gradient is against that of a certain substance, so it doesn't cross the membrane through diffusion or passive transport. It is sometimes necessary if a substance needs to move across a membrane but can't do so due to electrical charge or that there is a substance on the other side of the membrane preventing diffusion.
Explanation:
Answer: False
Explanation: It occurs in plants
animals recieve energy from the photosynthesis/energy when they eat plants
No choice given but the development of nuclear weapons could be considered a negative consequence of the application of scientific knowledge for example when it was used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing and wounding 100's of 1000's of people.
Answer:
B) a nonsense mutation; this is because a nonsense mutation results in the change of a regular amino acid codon into a stop codon, which ceases translation. This fits with the problem's description of the protein that causes the symptoms as too short, as translation is the process by which proteins/polypeptides are created. A missense mutation would not be the answer because it still codes for an amino acid, which would not shorten the protein. A duplication of the gene would probably just lengthen the protein or not affect its length at all.
Answer:
This compression increases the pressure inside cooker to more than atmospheric pressure which in turns increases the boiling point of the remaining water.
Explanation:
This compression increases the pressure inside cooker to more than atmospheric pressure which in turns increases the boiling point of the remaining water. ... Higher temperature of water means higher transfer of heat to food kept in it and hence the faster cooking.
