The earth began as a cloud of dust and hot, shining gas. When our planet began to cool, its surface solidified, surrounded by clouds of water vapour. When this vapour condensed (changed into liquid) and began to fall like rain, seas, and oceans formed in the hollows of the Earth’s surface. Oceans are huge expanses of water which separate the Earth’s continents. The largest ocean is the Pacific Ocean, second, the Atlantic and third largest, the Indian Ocean. Seas are smaller expanses of water, almost always flowing either into oceans or other sea. The waters of the seas and the oceans are always salty, because they are rich in mineral salts and especially sodium chloride, which is the salt used in cooking.

ahrayia [7]

The answer would be:

Passive transport

Active transport

Why?

There are two ways molecules can move across membranes within the cell. What makes the two different is the use of energy.

PASSIVE transport is the movement of molecules DOWN the concentration gradient. The molecules move from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration. This does nor require energy. Comparing it to the scenario, the child starts from a higher area and ends at a lower area. Going down a slide does not take energy. The child simply goes down it.

When you talk about the child going UP a slide, think ACTIVE transport. Unlike passive transport, active transport requires energy, because the molecules move AGAINST the concentration gradient.  The movement of molecules in this type of transport is the opposite, it goes from lower areas of concentration to higher areas of concentration.

Hopefully, this has been educational for you and was able to help you understand the difference between the two.

Most of the oxygen exiting the blood and entering the tissues does so from the capillaries.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The circulatory system consists of the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. An artery is the one which carry blood from the heart to the organs. A vein is the one which carry blood from the organ to the heart.

A capillary is the smallest blood vessel which helps connect the functions of arteries and veins in the body. The capillaries are the narrow tubes which allow diffusion of Oxygen into and from the tissues. It’s prior function is to drop Oxygen in a tissue and collect the Carbon dioxide from the tissue.
