The answer to this is active transport. 

This is a kind of movement of substances. Unlike diffusion or osmosis, the substances move against the concentration gradient (ie. from low concentration to high concentration). This process requires extra energy generated such as from cellular respiration. 

In addition, this process also requires a carrier protein, where it'll pick up certain substances that are needed to transport and move it to the other side. Some examples of movements of active transports are such as root hair cells of plants picking up minerals, or our small intestine absorbing nutrients digested.

34kurt

Explanation:

Well, one could use a magnet to see if it's ferrous. One could melt it to check which type it is, use a metal detector, or just use their senses: If it dings or clinks like metal, and feels like it’s texture. If it polishes with metal polish, is reflective, can be shaped or shape when heated… It usually is a metal. If it rusts, or oxidizes, it is or contains metal. If it “smells" like metal, most likely, it is metal. Finally, if it walks like metal, and quacks like metal, most likely we have a metal

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "the conversion of gaseous nitrogen into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3)".

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixation is a biological process at which gaseous nitrogen is converted into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3). Nitrogen fixation is performed in nature by microorganisms in the soil. Some of these microorganisms have a symbiotic relationship with plants. These microorganisms convert the gaseous nitrogen into ammonia, which is used by the plant as a source of nitrogen.

The ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is located between 17 kilomet
Zolol [24]
The correct answer is (2) - Stratosphere. Ozone is found in the stratosphere , a layer beginning between 6 and 10 miles above the earth's surface and extends upward to about 30 mile above the surface of he earth. The ozone that is found in the stratosphere absorbs most of he harmful ultraviolet sunlight and is thus called the "good ozone" Ozone is also found in the lower region of the atmosphere known as the troposphere. But the ozone here strongly reacts with molecules causing toxicity in plants. The ozone is therefore termed as "bad ozone."
