<span>This is an example of facilitated diffusion using a channel. Diffusion is the process of an object moving across a concentration gradient, usually from areas of higher to lower concentration in membranes. In this case, the diffusion is "facilitated" by the aquaporin molecules and water is allowed to enter or exit the membrane based on concentration level.</span>

Which of the following statements about carotenoids is NOT true? Carotenoids include red, orange, and yellow pigments. Carotenoi
kvv77 [185]

       The right answer to this question is option D. Carotenoids are categorized into two major divisions: carotenes and beta carotenes

       First, let's check option A, it says that the carotenoids include red, orange and yellow pigments, that's true, we can check that on lab for example, a vegetable that can be mentioned here are carrots, it has lots of this and it's very healthy too, and remember, there isn't a single animal that can produce carotenoids, so they need to grab it from nature.

       The second option, B. says that sometimes carotenoids are sometimes called as acessory pigments, that's true too, some studies consider them acessory pigments, so, they're not alone there, there are different kinds of pigments that can be on that plant, and they're also very important for the animals. Option C refers to beta carotene as the most abundant carotene in plants, that's true too, we can also find other kinds of carotenoids on plants, but this one as it's seen in lab, is the most common one. The last one, D, isn't true, the two major divisions are: Xanthophylls and Carotenoids, beta carotenoids are a type of carotenoids, not a different group.

What do anaerobic organisms have in common with photosynthetic organisms?
Dvinal [7]

Ans is option C. They both need an energy source in order to survive.

Energy is an absolute necessity to survive on this earth. All living organisms need energy be it anaerobic or photosynthetic.  Photosynthetic organisms can make their own food in the presence of sunlight by photosynthesis and harness energy from it. Anaerobic organisms can also make their own food in the absence of sunlight with the help of inorganic molecules like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), sulphur (S) etc.

Its just that anaerobic organism's way of harnessing energy is different from those of aerobes/photosynthetic organisms but they need energy source for sure.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: FOSSIL

A rock-like copy of a plant,a feather,or a bone(natural things) is a FOSSIL

Explanation: Fossil can be defined as the preserved remains or trace or impression from a plant or animal that pre-existed in history or geological age,these remains are preserved in petrified form in the earth crust.

Fossils serves as the primary source of information about the history of life of a plant or animal on earth.

They are studied by archeologists.

The five types of fossils are; Carbon Fossils,Trace fossils, Body fossils, Molecular fossils and Pseudo fossils.

during the paleozoic and mesozoic eras plate movements were rapid. this caused many volcanoes to occur. how could this impact th
kompoz [17]

Explanation:

Many violent volcanoes spew a lot of pyroclasts and gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide high into the atmosphere. The fine pyroclast would linger in the atmosphere for months and even years  blocking out the sun. This would cause vegetation to die out and decrease. Photosynthetic organisms re usual producers and the entry point of energy from the sun into ecosystems. Their death would mean the collapse of ecosystems.

Settling pyroclast would also blanket vegetation in thick layers hence also denying them access to sunlight. There would be a definite drastic decline in population and communities and ecosystems, and even extinction akin to the extinction even to the dinosaurs during the meteorite strike.
