Hey there!!

In general, there are two types of cell transports.

  • Passive transport
  • Active transport

Passive:

In this type of cell transport, the process does not require energy. There are two types. Simple diffusion and osmosis.

Diffusion is the travel of solutes from a region of higher concentration of solute to a lower concentration of solutes. This takes place with smaller molecules.Diffusion could be further divided as facilitated diffusion. This is the same thing but uses the channel protein. This type uses the protein because, the solutes would be too big to enter the phospholipid-bilayer. Glucose uses the facilitated diffusion.

Osmosis is the travel of water from higher concentration(hypotonic) to a lower concentration(hypertonic).

Active:

This type of transport uses energy to pass through. The molecules travel through the channel protein too but the only difference between active and facilitated diffusion is that active transport uses energy. For example the sodium-potassium pump. Potassium comes in and sodium moves out with the help of ATP(energy)(Adinosine-triphosphate)

Now, looking at the question.

The question states small molecules(not water)

Hence, the answer would be <em>Diffusion. </em>

Hope my answer helps!

A transparent specimen is viewed through a microscope using _____ light while an opaque object requires _____ illumination.
Julli [10]

Transmitted, vertical

A transparent specimen is viewed through a microscope using transmitted light while an opaque object requires vertical illumination.

Transmitted light is the light that passes through an object. Transmitted light microscopy is any kind of microscopy in which the light is transmitted from a source located directly across the specimen from the objective. The light is commonly passed through a condenser in order to focus it on the specimen to obtain very high illumination. After the light passes through the specimen, the image of the specimen moves through the objective lens and later to the oculars where the enlarged image is viewed.

One of the accepted scientific theories describing the origin of life on Earth is known as chemical evolution. According to this
Natali [406]

Answer:

C. Synthesis of organic molecules

Explanation:

According to chemical evolution theory, life originated from inorganic molecules by the mode of chemical evolution. In primitive conditions of earth, only inorganic molecules were present. These molecules reacted under lightning, UV radiation and other environmental conditions to give rise to complex organic molecules like amino acids, sugars, lipids etc. They formed the basis for proteins, RNA and other molecules which ultimately led to the formation of cellular structures.

Only 9 and 10 have to be answered! Thank you.
loris [4]

9: Well big groups of birds are often found competing for food, causing fights and even death due to the fight. If a flock of birds from population A goes to population B, there would be more competition due to birds wanting food and nesting places that are good.

10: Many species evolve to suit environmental changes, but let's say this change in the environment was bad. Pollution, species of aggressive animals, which would eat the food the animals need and cause a downgrade in food leaving the area bare, and hunting, which would bring humans to the area and cause them to camp out, eat the animals and wild vegetables, such,   can cause negative population changes. Due to these things birds could get sick and die off, causing population to go down. If trash and sewage are not cleaned up it could affect the birds food source and cause it to be bad for a long time, the aggressive animals would kill and eat the birds causing a continuous spiral of death, and hunting could cause them to die.

Compare and contrast the function and structure of a compound light micrscope and electron micscrope
galben [10]
The major difference between a light microscope and a electron microscope would be that with the light microscope, a beam of light is used to focus the image. In an electron microscope, a beam of electrons is used to focus the image. Other notable differences would be with the light microscope, your specimens must be very thin; thin enough for light to pass through them. With the EM, you can place whole specimens that can generate 3D images. There is a much more complex specimen preparation process for the EM, where light microscope slide making is fairly simple in comparison. You can view live and wet specimens with a light microscope but you cannot with the EM because an EM requires specimens to be placed in a vacuum chamber. Lastly, the EM is very large and complex to operate, where the light microscope is somewhat portable. Hope this helps!
