If the PC and CPU are still plugged in and the computer is turned on, a person can tell if they have an active or passive cooling system. An active cooling system allows the fan to run constantly. A passive system allows the fan to run only when there is danger of overheating.

What is the difference between active and passive resistance used by slaves on plantations?

Active resistance by slaves on plantations involved open rebellion, sabotage, or escape attempts, while passive resistance included behaviors such as feigning illness, working slowly, or pretending ignorance to undermine the system. Active resistance was more direct and confrontational, while passive resistance was subtle and non-violent.


Is carrier proteins passive transport or active transport?

Carrier proteins can use active or passive transport depending on what type of carrier protein it is (meaning what the protein transports). The form of passive transport that they use is facilitated diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump. Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion is used to transport polar molecules and ions that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion doesn't require energy.

What ia an socket difference between active nd passive socket?

Sockets come in two primary flavors. An active socket is con­nect­ed to a remote active socket via an open data con­nec­tion... A passive socket is not con­nect­ed, but rather awaits an in­com­ing con­nec­tion, which will spawn a new active socket once a con­nec­tion is es­tab­lished ... Each port can have a single passive socket binded to it, await­ing in­com­ing con­nec­tions, and mul­ti­ple active sockets, each cor­re­spond­ing to an open con­nec­tion on the port. It's as if the factory worker is waiting for new mes­sages to arrive (he rep­re­sents the passive socket), and when one message arrives from a new sender, he ini­ti­ates a cor­re­spon­dence (a con­nec­tion) with them by del­e­gat­ing someone else (an active socket) to ac­tu­al­ly read the packet and respond back to the sender if nec­es­sary. This permits the factory worker to be free to receive new packets. ...


What characteristic makes the cell membrane selectively permeable?

Passive and active transport. Passive transport doesn't require the cell's energy, while active transport does.


What is the importance of passive and active transport to the cell?

It is passive because it does not require energy when moving molecules. It is passive because it does not require energy when moving molecules. There is both active and passive transport. If it is going against the concentration gradient it is active transport. If it is not acting against the concentration gradient it is passive transport.


Where is the steering fluid reservoir on a 2004 Lincoln LS?

Open the hood and look for something that has a steering wheel on the cap.There are 2 reservoirs that look similar, one is for the power steering the other is for the hydraulic cooling fan. And no I'm not lying about the hydraulic cooling fan.

What cooling methods are used for an open machine?

For an open machine thermal conduction and air-cooling are the only methods possible, sometimes with a fan to boost the flow of air.Oil-cooling and water-cooling can only be used on closed machines.

How do heating and cooling thermostats differ?

A cooling thermostat only will be normally open, closing on the rise of temperature. A Heat only thermostat will be a normally open, close on the fall of temperature.
