Plants normally make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. Plants take in water through the roots from the ground, absorb sunlight during the day and take in carbon dioxide from the air to make their nutrients. So plants are normally autotrophic in nature. Animals on the other hand consume plants as well as other animals to produce nutrients. So animals are mostly heterotrophic in nature. Fungi release enzymes which in turn help in digesting external material. Then the fungi absorb that digested compound that is created by the enzyme.

Which statement best compares the amount of fossil fuels formed each year to the amount used each year? The amount of fossil fue
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The amount of fossil fuels formed is much less than the amount used.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels, which include petroleum, coal, natural gas etc are an example of non-renewable sources of energy. They are termed non-renewable because they are sources that gets exhausted quickly without replenishment.

One of the characteristics of non-renewable sources of energy is that they get exhausted faster than they can be produced. Hence, regarding fossil fuels as an example of non-renewable source of energy, this means that the amount of fossil fuels formed is much less than the amount used.

what are three characteristics that are used by the cell membrane to determine if an object can diffuse through the cell membran
alekssr [168]
A cell membrane is semi-permeable. This means that it  is size-specific. It allows only a particular maximum size of particles to pass through it. Large molecules such as plasma proteins and lipid molecules cannot therefore penetrate while small moecules such as glucose will easily diffuse across it.
Secondly, a cell membrane is charged. The charge is as a result of a difference in ionization between the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid. Substances that have the same charge as the fluid into which they are diffusing will be hard to asorb due to repulsion effect. On the other hand, substances that have opposite charge as the fluid into which they are diffusing will be absorbed easily and faster.
Finally, the cell membrane is made of two layers. Lipid layer and phospholipid layer. Inside these layers, there are embedded particles and substances such as enzymes, receptors, hormones and ion channels. During diffusion of substances across cell membrane, some substances are speeded up by these substances. For instance, Translocase enzyme in the membrane of mitochondria speeds up the transfer of Carnitine transferase into the mitochondrial matrix.
