Answer:b. Facilitated transport

Explanation:in the usual activities of the cell,it's cell membrane is responsible for the movement of substance in and out of the cell.

Such substances include nutrients,water, oxygen etc.

The plasma membrane select the substances that it allows into the cell thus it is said to be selectively permeable.

The plasma membrane of the cell has a phospholipid bilayer made up of cholesterol, proteins and glycoproteins.

The proteins on the membrane are useful for facilitated diffusion.

In this diffusion process,the proteins helps to carry large molecules across the cell membrane.such molecules includes glucose,amino acids etc.

In the process energy is not expended so it is a type of passive transport.

Why does acid rain adamage mountain lebrty
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive.

Explanation:

You might expect that sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments would not be affected by acid precipitation. However, sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid. Gypsum is soluble in water; although it can form anywhere on carbonate stone surfaces that are exposed to sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), it is usually washed away. It remains only on protected surfaces that are not directly washed by the rain.

Give 2 ways that exposing non-pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics as a side effect of antibiotic treatment for a pathogen may inc
Airida [17]

Answer:

The resistance of the bacteria to antibiotics is increasing and the disease which were easily treatable using the antibiotics, are now incurable and bacteria becomes resistant.  

The overdose and misuse of antibiotics Is a big concern of worry. Every time we use antibiotics, it will kill the bacteria which were sensitive but resistant bacteria will survive and starts growing and this process will increase the growth of the resistant bacteria upon the nest use of the antibiotics.  

Also due to unawareness, the use of antibacterial tablets against viral infections also cause increase in resistance of bacteria against antibiotics.
