A pond is located beside an open mine. Mercury from the mine contaminates the river water. This is an example of

A behavior with both innate and learned components that is irreversible and is triggered during a sensitive period.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Imprinting.

Explanation:

Imprinting is a behavior that includes both innate components and learning components and normally can not be irreversible. It is something that takes place at a specific sensitive period.

For instance, ducklings follow their mother is imprinting that is both innate and learned at a limited phase after birth during development. It can be visual or auditory or other ways that an animal can develop imprinting.

Normally, the hydrostatic pressure difference between capillary fluid and interstitial fluid favors movement of fluid __________

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

out of

into

Explanation:

As pressure exerts force, Hydrostatic pressure is a type of force that occurs in fluid e.g (interstitial fluids) on the walls of the capillary. The helps to carry fluid-like materials out of the tissue capillary. There are quite bunch of relative factors affecting the hydrostatic pressure which include; the liquid density and distance beneath the liquid surface,force of gravity.

On the other hand, The protein osmotic pressure difference between capillary fluid and interstitial fluid normally favors movement of fluid into a tissue capillary. This protein substances consist of albumin, plasma protein etc. From our knowledge of osmosis as well, we knew it is the movement of substances through a semi-permeable membrane from the region of higher concentration to a lower concentration. Therefore the protein osmotic pressure bring about movement of fluid like substances into the tissue capillary.

Eok<br> Which biomolecule is the genetic codle for life?

cestrela7 [59]

Answer: nucleic acids

Explanation: Among biomolecules, nucleic acids, namely DNA and RNA, have the unique function of storing an organism's genetic code—the sequence of nucleotides that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins, which are of critical importance to life on Earth.

Is the movement of water along the concentration gradient

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

<em>- Is the movement of water along the concentration gradient: </em><em>Osmosis</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the use of energy to move the particles against the concentration gradient: </em><em>Active transport</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the movement of particles by diffusion without energy: </em><em>Simple diffusion</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the movement of particles along the concentration gradient: </em><em>Passive transport</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

The mechanisms of cellular transport involve all the processes that the cell carries out to incorporate substances into its interior or send them to the extracellular space, through its semipermeable cell membrane.

<h3>- Osmosis</h3>

Is a type of transport that consists of the passage of water from a space with a lower concentration of solutes to one with a higher concentration, in order to reach equilibrium, following a concentration gradient.

The concentration gradient is given by the difference in concentration between two substances, which indicates the direction in which molecules, such as water, should move from one place to another.

<h3>- Active transport</h3>

Unlike passive transport mechanisms, which depend on a concentration gradient that determines the movement of particles, in active transport there are two characteristics that define it:

The passage of substances into the cell against a concentration gradient.

The use of energy to carry out this process.

In this case, the passage of substances through the cell membrane will be according to the requirements of the cell, or when they cannot pass through the membrane.

<h3>- Simple diffusion</h3>

According to the characteristics of the cell membrane, some substances can pass freely through it while others require special mechanisms. When a molecule is able to pass through the membrane without the use of special mechanisms or energy we speak of simple diffusion.

In a cell membrane, whose composition is by hydrophobic or non-polar lipid molecules, simple diffusion allows the passage of non-polar molecules, gases and alcohol.

<h3>- Passive transport</h3>

Refers to the mechanism of entry and exit of substances from the cell that does not require the use of energy.

The mechanisms involved in the passive transport of the cell are simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion - which requires special conveyors or channels - and ultrafiltration, which depends on hydrostatic pressure. Examples of substances using this mechanism are lipid molecules, water and electrolytes.

Which two features indicate that a cell is a plant cell and not an animal cell? A. cell membrane, flagella B. lysosome, vacuole

Triss [41]

c. cell wall, vacuole

Among the choices above, the two features that indicate that a cell is a plant cell is the cell wall and vacuole. The cell wall can only be found in plant cells. It is the rigid cell that surrounds the cell membrane. The vacuole of a plant cell and animal cell are way too different. The vacuole of an animal cell is usually more than one and small, even smaller that that of the plant cell. On the other hand, the vacuole of the plant cell is only one in fact a large one that takes up almost 90 percent of the volume of the cell
