In school I learned 2 as the correct answer. The cell membrane chooses which substances to allow in and out of cell - is what my teacher's definition was.

The correct answer is option 2, that is, the cell membrane lets certain substances enter the cell and keeps certain substances out of the cell.

All the cells are surrounded by a cell membrane. The cells membrane is selectively permeable, that is, it allows only some of the ions or molecules to pass through them by assistance of active or passive transport. For example, the molecules of water can passes passively through small pores on the membrane.

Speciation is the process by which new species are formed. Which of the following circumstances is most likely to lead to specia
trapecia [35]

Answer is A. A population becomes separated by environmental factors into two groups that do not reproduce with one another.

When a population of a species become geographically separated then gene flow between them stops. Over a period of time, the population may become genetically different in response to the natural selection due to different environments. Selection and genetic drift will act differently on these two separated populations. This will results into two separate species. This type of speciation is called allopatric speciation.

Answer:

Methane is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4, symbolizing one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen. It is a group 14 hydride and the simplest alkaline, and is the main constituent of natural gas. The relative abundance of methane on Earth makes it an economically attractive fuel, although capturing and storing it poses technical challenges due to its gaseous state under normal conditions for temperature and pressure. Methane naturally occurs both below ground and under the seafloor, and is formed by both geological and biological processes. In nature, methane is produced by the anaerobic bacterial decomposition of vegetable matter under water. Methane is important because it can be captured from landfills, can be burned to produce electricity, heat buildings, or power garbage trucks. Methane can also be captured from farm digesters, which are big tanks that contain manure and other waste from barns that house livestock such as cows and pigs. In fact, Jordan Dairy Farms in Massachusetts uses a biodigester to turn cow manure into methane gas, which is used for fuel or turned into electricity.

Commuters drive personal vehicles to their places of work: offices, manufacturing plants etc.

Some may use car pooling or mass transit like buses. But too many want the luxury and convenience of coming and going on their own terms.

IMHO car pooling and mass transit needs to be used more to reduce environmental harm.
