xenn [34]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct option is<em> A. Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.</em>

Explanation:

Active transport can be described as a transport mechanism in which molecules tend to move against the concentration gradient i.e from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. Energy is needed for this process to occur.

Facilitated diffusion can be described as a phenomenon is which molecules move along the concentration gradient i.e from a higher concentration to a lower concentration with the help of trans- membrane integral proteins

How does the spread of an airborne pathogen compare to the spread of foodborne and person to person pathogens?
bulgar [2K]
An airborne pathogen would be much more dangerous than that of a foodborne and person to person. Why? Because there is a higher risk of contracting it. With person to person, you could avoid infected people all-together, but with airborne, it's more complex than that. Obviously, the molecular make-up is different as-well, but this is in regard to which pathogens you are talking about.

How does a decrease/decline in a top predator impact biodiversity in an ecosystem?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The most obvious result of the removal of the top predators in an ecosystem is a population explosion in the prey species. ... When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other. When the predators are removed, prey populations explode.
