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.

Is the escape of a rattlesnake from a zoo exhibit an example of an invasive species?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

No, it isn't

Explanation:

An invasive species is characterized by an organism's appearance in an area it is not a native of, with a high capacity of reproduction that will cause it to be a threat to native species in that area. A species of organism is tagged "invasive" if it is foreign to a region/location and possess a high reproductive rate that spreads fast and causes harm to other species.

Based on the analogy given in this question about the escape of a rattlesnake from a zoo, it cannot be ascertained that it is an example of invasive species. This is because rattlesnakes may be native to that area and possess a zero threat level to the environment in terms of high spreading rate.
