Describe the process of active transport?

Active transport is when a protein moves a certain material across the membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. This means the substance is absorbed against the concentration gradient and energy is needed for this active transport to work. The energy is usually comes from adenosine triphosphate or ATP, every cell supplies its own ATP by cell respiration. Globular proteins or pump proteins or transporter proteins in membranes carry out the active transport, the membrane must contain a lot of these proteins so that the cell can control the contents of its cytoplasm precisely. An example of active transport is in human nerve cells where potassium ions are pumped in and sodium ions are constantly transported out of the cell by active transport into the external fluid bathing the cell to build up a store of potential energy or an electrical impulse that is used to transmit a nerve impulse.

How an organism maintains its internal conditions such as temperature and amount of water and nutrients?

water (hydrostatics) and nutrients are controled by the cell membrane, which utilizes energy to maintain the concentration differentials. Temperature control is only found in higher animals (mammals and birds) and is managed by brown fat which has unusually high concentrations of mitocondral in their cells. Mitocondria are concerned with the manufacture of ADP the chief energy storage compound of nearly all life.

What is the intoxilyzer 5000c?

It is an evidentiary instrument used by police in Canada (5000"c") to measure the blood alcohol concentration of a suspected impaired driver. It utilizes IR technology to detect the concentration of alcohol in a persons blood by measuring the concentration of alcohol in a deep lung air sample provided by the suspect. It applies several scientifically determined ratio's to equate the concentration of alcohol in a breath sample to the concentration of alcohol in blood. It has been utilized in Canada since 1994 and is on the verge of being replaced by a more modern instrument.
