(02.02 MC) The contracting and relaxing of muscle is regulated by the amount of calcium present in the cells of muscle fibers. These cells must be able to move the calcium ions from areas with low concentrations to areas with high concentrations. What process would be necessary for this movement to occur?

Osmosis

Active Transport

Passive Transport

Facilitated Diffusion

Hello @alyissa.thompson !
Welcome to OS

abhisar · Answer

Transport of materials against the concentration gradient requires energy (ATP)

abhisar · Answer

Now can u tell me which kind of transportation is that ?

abhisar · Answer

against the concentration gradient means from low concentration to high concentration

abhisar · Answer

are u getting my point ??

abhisar · Answer

If not then say :)

anonymous · Answer

I'm not quite getting it

abhisar · Answer

okay i can explain if u like to learn

abhisar · Answer

should i explain or just give away the answers. choice iss urs

anonymous · Answer

explain, please.

abhisar · Answer

Ohkay....see the question it says u have to transport calcium ions from low conc to high conc.

abhisar · Answer

seen ?

anonymous · Answer

Honestly i think it's the second one

abhisar · Answer

yes it will be...because it is the only kind of transportation which allows u to transport materials from low to high conc
