The process responsible for this is mass movement.
Answer:
Active transport requires energy from ATP while facilitated diffusion does not
Explanation:
Active transport and facilitated diffusion with the use of channel and carrier proteins are both ways by which ions, polar and large molecules cross a selectively permeable membrane.
The major difference is that; Active transport transport these particles from a low to high concentration, which is against concentration gradient and hence, energy is required to perform the task
Facilitated diffusion transport from a high to low concentration, which is through a concentration gradient and hence, no energy is required to perform the task.
Answer:
The oxygen atoms have electrons more often than hydrogen.

Explanation:
Due to the prevalence of malaria in Africa, the allele for sickle cell anemia (HbS) provides a selective advantage. That's why it remains in the population.
A normal African person (HbAHbA), with normal haemoglobin, will not die of anemia, but will die of malaria.
An African person with sickle cell anemia (HbSHbS), with abnormal haemoglobin, will die of anemia.
A heterozygous African person (HbAHbS), with half of his red blood cells (RBCs) being normal and the other half being sickle-shaped, will neither die from anemia, nor malaria since the plasmodium will be incapable of completing its life cycle in the abnormal RBCs.
Thus heterozygous African people will grow, reproduce and pass on the HbS allele to the next generations.
