    Explanation
    Passive transport refers to the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the expenditure of energy. In this case, sodium ions are being pumped out of a nerve cell, which is an example of passive transport because it does not require the cell to use energy. Instead, the movement of sodium ions is driven by the concentration gradient, with the ions naturally moving from an area of higher concentration (inside the cell) to an area of lower concentration (outside the cell).

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    True or False: Passive Transport requires energy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Passive transport is a type of cellular transport that does not require energy. It is the movement of molecules or ions across a cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process occurs through diffusion, osmosis, or facilitated diffusion. Unlike active transport, which requires the use of energy in the form of ATP, passive transport relies on the natural kinetic energy of the particles themselves. Therefore, the statement "Passive Transport requires energy" is false.

    Explanation
    The different groups animals are classified into are called taxa. Taxa is a term used in taxonomy, which is the science of classification. In taxonomy, animals are categorized into various hierarchical levels such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Each of these levels represents a different taxon, or group, based on shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. Therefore, taxa is the correct answer for the name of the different groups animals are classified into.

    Food energy is passed through different organisms through a ....

    • Diffusion Web

    • Osmosis Web

    • Food Web

    • Food Chain

    Correct Answer
    A. Food Chain
    Explanation
    Food energy is passed through different organisms through a food chain. A food chain is a linear sequence in which each organism is eaten by the next organism in line. It starts with a producer, such as plants, which convert sunlight into food energy through photosynthesis. The primary consumers, such as herbivores, eat the producers, and then the energy is transferred to the secondary consumers, such as carnivores, who eat the primary consumers. This transfer of energy continues through the chain, with each organism being a source of energy for the next organism.

    What is the energy consumption method of the kingdom fungi.

    • Prokaryote

    • Unicellular

    • Heterotrophic

    • Autotrophic

    Correct Answer
    A. Heterotrophic
    Explanation
    The correct answer is heterotrophic because fungi obtain their energy by breaking down organic matter from their environment. They do not have the ability to produce their own food through photosynthesis like autotrophic organisms. Instead, they rely on external sources of organic material, such as dead plants and animals, to obtain the energy they need for survival and growth. This makes them heterotrophic organisms.

    What kingdom would algae be in?

    • Animalia

    • Fungi

    • Eubacteria

    • Protista

    Correct Answer
    A. Protista
    Explanation
    Algae would be classified in the kingdom Protista. Protista is a diverse kingdom that includes eukaryotic organisms that do not fit into the other kingdoms such as Animalia, Fungi, or Eubacteria. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular, and they are typically found in aquatic environments. They have characteristics of both plants and protists, which is why they are classified in the kingdom Protista.

    Which scientist discovered that all plants are made of cells?

    • Matthias Schleiden

    • Robert Hooke

    • Anton van Leeuwenhoek

    • Rudolf Virchow

    Correct Answer
    A. Matthias Schleiden
    Explanation
    Matthias Schleiden is credited with discovering that all plants are made of cells. He was a German botanist who, in 1838, proposed the "cell theory" along with Theodor Schwann. This theory states that all living organisms are composed of cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of life. Schleiden's observations and experiments with plant tissues led him to conclude that cells are the fundamental building blocks of plants. His work laid the foundation for the understanding of cell biology and revolutionized the field of botany.

    Which one of the following is a group of invertebrates?

    • Annelids

    • Octopi

    • Amphibians

    • Snakes

    Correct Answer
    A. Annelids
    Explanation
    Annelids is the correct answer because they are a group of invertebrates. Annelids are a phylum of segmented worms that includes earthworms, leeches, and polychaetes. They lack a backbone or vertebral column, which is a characteristic of invertebrates. Octopi, amphibians, and snakes, on the other hand, are not invertebrates. Octopi are cephalopods, amphibians are vertebrates, and snakes are reptiles.
