Active transport is a process by which substances move against the concentration gradient. This process requires energy. Active transport is used in root hair cells of plants for the uptake of mineral ions that are present in lower concentration in the soil as compared to the root hair cells of the plants. This process uses energy derived from the mitochondria that are present in high amount in these root hair cells.

Nerve cells are also called neurons which are sdapted to perform their function of carrying messages in the form of electrical impulses from brain to the rest of body and vice versa. They consist of a long axon which helps in quick transmission of these electrical impulses over long distances througout the lenght of the body. The axon is insulated by a sheath of fatty tissue called the myelin sheath. This sheath provides insulation thereby increasing the speed of transmission. The cell body of the neurons have branches known as dendrites that help the neurons to receive multiple impulses from other neurons.

Diffusion in animals is used in the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen taking place in the alveoli of the lungs to replenish deoxygenated blood coming from the heart with oxygen.

Alichen is an organism that structurally appears to be a single organism. but a lichen is actually two different organisms—a fungus and green algae—living together as one organism. the fungal partner derives its nutrition from the photosynthesizing algae. how does a lichen differ in its photosynthetic activity from elysia chlorotica, the sea slug that’s considered to be a photosynthesizing animal? a. in lichens, the fungi photosynthesize on their own, while elysia chlorotica forms a relationship with a photosynthesizing plant. b. in lichens, the relationship with the algae lasts throughout the life cycle, but in elysia chlorotica, the relationship occurs only during the immature juvenile stage of the slug’s life cycle. c. lichens can photosynthesize only because of the living algal partner, while elysia chlorotica incorporates chloroplasts from algae into its cells. d. in lichens, the association between the fungi and algae is permanent, while elysia chlorotica associates with a photosynthesizing organism only when it requires food.
