I NEED HELP ASAP Sensors on a spider's legs feel the vibrations of a trapped insect and relay the information to the spider's brain through nerve electrical signals. For nerve cells to maintain these electrical potentials, sodium must be removed from the cell and potassium must be moved into the cell. Describe why this process is a form of active transport and what is required for active transport to occur?

Please find the explanation below

- Energy (ATP) is needed for active transport to occur

Explanation:

According to this question, sensor's on a spider's legs relay information via nerve electrical signals to the brain when the vibrations of a trapped insect is felt. However, for nerve cells to maintain this electric potential, ACTIVE TRANSPORT must be carried out by removing sodium from the cell and potassium must be moved into the cell.

This is a form of ACTIVE TRANSPORT because pottasium ions are moved into the cell against concentration gradient i.e. from a region where it is in low concentration to where it is in high concentration. This active transport process is usually accompanied by the use of energy in form of ATP.
