Answer:

C. away from the area where it is more concentrated.

Explanation:

If a molecule is moving across a cell membrane w/o using the cell's energy, it is diffusion, which is defined as the movement of a substance from higher to lower concentration. Diffusion <em>never </em>requires energy, whether it is facilitated or not, as clustered molecules and/or atoms simply want to get the heck away from each other if in too high concentration in a single place. The type of molecular movement across a cell membrane that would require the cell's energy would be active transport, which often requires ATP or GTP and works against a concentration gradient.

Cheers.

Which adaptation is the likely result of convergent evolution?
bezimeni [28]

A result of convergent evolution are the webbed feet of ducks and frogs.

Explanation:

The evolution of the animals, or rather the development of adaptive features, works in very interesting manner. It is very common in nature that animals that are closely related do not share similar characteristics, or the opposite, animals that are not closely related but share similar characteristics. The later case, is referred to as convergent evolution, where totally different animals have developed the same or very similar characteristics in order to be better suited for their environment.

In this case we have the ducks and frogs, and the webbed feet as shared adaptations, or feature. The ducks are birds, while the frogs are amphibians, and their last common ancestor has lived hundreds of millions of years ago. Despite that, both animals have developed webbed feet, and the reason for this has been that both animals have faced the same challenge, swimming and diving, and the webbed feet help them to be much faster and more agile in the water.

Other examples of convergent evolution (in the present and in the past) are:

  • Hyena - Tasmanian devil
  • Sandy cat - Fenec fox
  • Smilodon - Thylacosmilus
  • Bats - Birds
