Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.</em>

Explanation:

Active transport can be described as the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient i.e from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.

Facilitated diffusion can be described as the movement of molecules guided by other molecules such as integral proteins. These kinds of movements are a type of passive transport as the molecules move along the concentration gradient from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Answer:

Elderly people are more likely to have cognitive deficits as part of brain senescence.

Explanation:

Aging is a gradual and inevitable process throughout living beings. Along with this aging occurs brain senescence, which is a process of losing brain connections due to lack of intellectual activities.

While this is not a rule, the elderly are the most common people going through the brain senescence process. For this reason, the elderly are also the most common people to develop cognitive deficits.

Cognitive Deficit consists of the learning disability that some people have and that ends up limiting their life in many ways. The problem is directly related to the mental capacity of information assimilation, which causes the individual to develop intellectual limitations.
