It is the force constant of the material in N/m. So you can substitute it into the equation F=kx (F=force, k=force constant or gradient in N/m, x = extension)
You would expect the extension to be on the y-axis normally since it is the measured value. However since you want to use the graph to calculate certain values it is on the x-axis (you can also find the work done by the force by finding the area under the graph)
Also it allows you to divide the y-axis values by the cross-sectional area and x-axis values by original length to get a stress vs strain graph where you can use the gradient to find the Young modulus of the material.
The most direct source of energy for co-transport is typically the movement of ions down their electrochemical gradient. This gradient is generated by active transport processes like ATP pumps. The energy stored in this gradient can be used to drive the co-transport of other molecules against their concentration gradient.
Active transport requires energy because it moves molecules or ions against their concentration gradient, from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. This process goes against the natural tendency of molecules to diffuse down their concentration gradient, requiring the input of energy in the form of ATP to drive the transport proteins involved.
Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules along their concentration gradient. Active transport usually involves the use of transport proteins, such as pumps or carriers, while passive transport relies on diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
To compare an unknown quantity with a standard means to evaluate the unknown by measuring or examining it against a known or established reference point. This process helps to determine the value or characteristics of the unknown quantity in relation to the standard.
conformation during the transport process. This conformation change allows the protein to alternately bind and release protons on opposite sides of the membrane, resulting in the movement of protons across the membrane against their concentration gradient.
Against the gradient. It requires energy because it's going against the concentration of high to low.
In biological systems, active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.

Active transport is the type of transport mechanism that goes against the concentration gradient.
Passive transport moves with the concentration gradient.
Yes, active transport involves the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient.
Yes, active transport is able to move molecules against the concentration gradient.
The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called active transport.
this is called active transport, bc it uses energy and goes against the concentration gradient
