Answer:
It receives half of its chromosomes from each of its parents.
Explanation:
Because there is only a finite amount of energy. Energy is lost between each trophic stage. The top predator would gain the least amount of energy, shared between the least amount of organisms within the predator species. Typically there just aren't any other animals that can kill and eat the top predator, but there also wouldn't be enough of the top predator to eat so any species above them would quickly die out.
Answer:
The case in which facilitated diffusion would be needed is in the transport of large non-polar molecules moving down the concentration gradient.
Explanation:
Facilitated diffusion (FD) involves a form of passive transport, that is, it does not require energy and mobilizes substances across the cell membrane in favor of a concentration gradient.
The passive transport mechanism of FD is necessary only in the case of transport of very large molecules or polar molecules that:
- Cannot be transported by simple diffusion, due to the selective permeability of the membrane
- They follow a concentration gradient, from the place with the highest concentration to the one with the lowest concentration.
For FD to occur, it requires the use of a protein, which acts as a carrier of the molecules to be mobilized.
The other options are not correct because:
<em> A and C. Passive transport, as facilited diffusion, implies movement in favor of a concentration gradient.</em>
<em> B and C. Non-polar small or very small molecules can cross the membrane by simple diffusion.</em>
