Answer:

Passive transport

Explanation:

Active transport uses energy, Passive transport does not.

(I couldn't figure out how to respond to the answer above, which said the answer was Osmosis. I don't think this is true as osmosis involves water, and is much more specific. Passive transport is the correct answer, at least on Edge.)

Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

Passive transport does not require energy for movement in and out of a place or across a membrane e.g a cell.

Osmosis uses passive transport to move materials in and out of a cell by setting up concentration gradient through a distance.

Osmosis can be defined as the movement of molecules or particles of a solution from an area of higher concentration to that of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane e.g plasma membrane. As we can see, the difference in concentration is the drive for the transport between the two medium. When the concentration is the same, there won't be any movement again.

Glucose is broken down in the chemical processes of aerobic respiration.
Papessa [141]

\bold{\huge{\purple{\underline{ Answer }}}}

<u>Aerobic </u><u>respiration </u>:- Aerobic respiration is process of respiration in which complete oxidation of glucose takes place in the presence of oxygen

<u>That </u><u>is</u><u>, </u>

<u>Aerobic </u><u>respiration </u><u>is </u><u>takes </u><u>place </u><u>in </u><u>four </u><u>stages </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • <u>Glycolysis</u>
  • <u>The </u><u>link </u><u>reaction </u>
  • <u>The </u><u>Krebs </u><u>cycle </u>
  • <u>Oxidative </u><u>phosphorylation </u>

In aerobic respiration, Glucose with 6 carbon atoms broken into 2 pyruvic acid each with 3 carbon atom and produces water + CO2 + energy.

<h3><u>Whereas</u><u>, </u></h3>

<u>Anaerobic </u><u>respiration </u>:- is the process of respiration in which incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place in the absence of oxygen

The end products of glucose in anaerobic respiration is

  • <u>In </u><u>human </u><u>muscles</u><u>, </u><u> </u><u>Lactic </u><u>acid </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>Energy </u>
  • <u>In </u><u>yeast</u><u>, </u><u>Ethanol </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>CO2</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>Energy </u>

<u>Hence</u><u>, </u><u>Option </u><u>D </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>correct </u><u>answer</u><u>.</u>

In the African savanna, more wildebeests are born than the environment can support. Which is most likely to happen over a period
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Eventually, the environment will be unable to support the production of wildebeests, this will cause there to be a loss of vegitation that then causes a food shortage, and then the wildebeests will starve.  

Explanation:

It's a very unhappy process, but those herds who don't migrate to another pasture will starve and die. The death will depopulate the savanna and give the fields some time for regrowth and the cycle will begin again.

Hope this helps! :)
