Answer:

Channel proteins form hydrophilic channels to passively transport substances down the concentration gradient.

Carrier proteins bind to substances to transport them actively against the concentration gradient. They do not form channels.

Explanation:

Channel proteins are the membrane proteins that serve in transport of small polar molecules and/or ions by making a hydrophilic pore across the membrane. These molecules diffusion through the pore and exhibit facilitated diffusion.  

Carrier proteins are the membrane proteins that transport the substances across the membrane by binding to them. They do not form the hydrophilic channels. Carrier proteins serve in the active transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.

How can these forelimbs explain how life changes over time?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The correct answer would be divergent evolution showing by homologous organs.

Explanation:

In the illustration human arm, the flipper of the dolphin, wings of bat and forearm of frog are shown. All  these four forelimbs have a different function, however, these forelimbs are having the same underlying anatomy.

The organs having basic structure and origin, but different functions are known as homologous organs. These organs point towards the same ancestor from these organisms evolved. They show a case of divergent evolution.

When related species become less similar in order to adapt and survive in different conditions, evolution is called divergent evolution.

Thus, these forelimbs provide evidence for divergent evolution.
