Algae and Fungi

The primary role of algae in the ecosystem is the generation of food, as well as the creation of oxygen gas. Fungal hyphae are a type of cell chain that is produced by fungi. The creation of the thallus is the result of the interaction between algae and fungi. The algae are autotrophs, which means […]

Active and Passive Transport

When ions and molecules move across the cell membrane, this is referred to as active transport because it does not require the expenditure of energy. Active and passive transport are the two primary biological processes that are critical in the supply of nutrients, oxygen, water, and other essential molecules to cells, as well as the

Active Absorption

Until now, we’ve talked about how herbicides can be passively absorbed into plant cells, where absorption is driven by passive diffusion and occurs along a concentration gradient. The majority of herbicides are absorbed in this manner. However, a few, such as 2,4-D, glyphosate, and paraquat, are absorbed via active transport mechanisms. Active transport is the
