What two forces drive the passive transport of ions across a membrane?

Two forces drive the passive transport of ions across a membrane: -the concentration gradient of the ions -the effect of membrane potential (voltage) on the ions


What are the processes of co-evolution?

Organisms evolve in tandem with one's adaptions driving the evolution of the other organism. For instance, rabbits are variations and some rabbits are born very fast indeed and leave these traits to progeny. Now foxes are also variations and the fastest fox is the fox that catches the rabbit that is representative of the rabbit population. So, fast rabbits drive the evolution of fast foxes and conversely, foxes drive rabbit evolution. Until the physical constraints are met. This is a simplified explanation as there are many fox and rabbit traits under selection pressure at the same time.


What drives the process of evolution?

Mutation, genetic drift and gene flow can all drive evolution to a degree and the last two, drift and flow, are especially powerful in small populations. But, the driver of adaptive change in all populations of organisms is natural selection.


What are the three most important factors that drive evolution of species?

1:physical features in common 2:capable of inter breeding 3:producing fertile off springs


How do evolution and speciation relate?

Evolution is the change in populations of organisms over time while speciation is the direct result of natural selection working to select individuals with traits different enough, but beneficial enough, y drive their alleles into greater frequency in popilations so that new species have a chance of arising; either by anagenesis or phylogenesis.
