<span>Although it is not mentioned the location, I found the exercise on the internet with the following options:
A)weathering and erosion of park pathways
B)deterioration of the man-made structures in the park
C)pattern and timing of leaf loss in the shade trees
D)exposure of rocks and minerals found in the soil
The only effect, out of this options, that would be studied by biologists is the "pattern and timing of leaf loss in the shade trees". This is the only effect related to life, which is the subject of biology - living organisms and their mechanisms. Leaf loss is a process undergone by many trees as colder seasons, or dry seasons in the case of trees in tropical forests, approach.</span>
Answer: W = 6.4x10⁻²¹J
Explanation: <u>Work</u> is the energy transferred to or from an object due to the application of a force along a displacement.
The ion Na is gaining energy to move from a lower potential to a higher one.
For this to happen, the work done is calculated as

in which
W is work in Joules (J)
q is charge in Coulomb (C)
is potential difference in Volts (V)
The ion Na has one positive charge. In coulombs, the charge is
q = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C
The potential difference in Volts is
= 40x10⁻³ or 4x10⁻²V
Calculating

W = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹. 4x10⁻²
W = 6.4 x 10⁻²¹ J
The work done to move an ion of sodium from the exterior to the interior is 6.4 x 10⁻²¹ J.
Answer: He would not be able to observe cork cells dividing to form new cells.
Explanation
The answer to the question presented above would be 'require frequent rainfall'. A plant native to the chaparral would be expected to require frequent rainfall. This is because it cannot survive in dry lands and without constant water.
