Answer:
The phloem carries important sugars, organic compounds, and minerals around a plant. Sap within the phloem simply travels by diffusion between cells and works its way from leaves down to the roots with help from gravity. The phloem is made from cells called 'sieve-tube members' and 'companion cells'.
Answer: B and D
Explanation: We can break down why the correct answers are choices B and D by understanding why A and C are incorrect.
Option A states that active transport utilizes channel proteins, and facilitated diffusion utilizes carrier proteins. This is incorrect. Active transport involves carrier proteins, and facilitated diffusion involves channel proteins. Carrier proteins are different from channel proteins in that, while channel proteins can only facilitate the passive diffusion of ions into or out of the cell along their concentration gradient, carrier proteins can also use ATP to move ions in or out of the cell against their concentration gradient.
This brings us to why option C is also incorrect. Option C states that both processes require the input of energy in the form of ATP. While active transport requires the use of ATP to transport ions with or against their concentration gradient, facilitated diffusion does not. This is easily remembered when we consider that active transport is called *active* transport because the cell is *actively* using energy to transport ions.
Hope this helped.
Answer
The ability of some fish, like clownfish, to detect predators is decreased in more acidic waters. A sudden drop in pH can as cause medical issues, such as comas and seizures in oceanic life. Fish's skeletons are also sensitive to acidity, so their development may be impacted as well.
Answer:
The options have been placed in the comment section. The answer is C. Inheritance of genes from both parents
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel is referred to as the FATHER OF GENETICS due to his immense contribution to the discovery of how traits are passed down or inherited from parents to offsprings. He found out that a unit of inheritance, which was later called GENE, was responsible for each individual trait of pea plants.
In his numerous experiments, Mendel discovered that the characteristics/traits of pea plants were determined by the contribution of both parents. Mendel hypothesized that each parent contributed 50% of this unit of inheritance via fertilization to the characteristics of an offspring. Hence, the inheritance of genes from both parents determines the characteristics of a pea plant.
