6 0

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.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

In the process of photosynthesis, trees tend to take up carbon dioxide and water and convert it into oxygen and glucose. In this way, trees help in reducing the amount of carbon dioxide from the air which is otherwise a source of global warming. The process of photosynthesis also yields oxygen which is beneficial for life on earth.

The trees also store carbon inside them hence, reducing global warming. The more the trees, the more will be the chances of carbon being reduced from the atmosphere and being stored in the trees.

Plant processes like transpiration help to lower the temperature around them. Hence, more the trees, lesser will be the rise in temperature.

A convergent boundary is a location where tectonic plates move toward each other. which feature of the ocean floor is caused by
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.
