Once you finish
growing to adulthood, neurons stop dividing. Hair follicle cells constantly
divide throughout your lifetime since they are constantly producing cells that
become part of the hair itself as they die. So in an adult, the rate of cell
division for neurons is zero (although there is some counter-evidence but it is
certainly very low) while the hair follicle rate is much higher on the order of
once every few days or faster.
Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.
The correct answer is D Fish ( someone asked me to explain why d is the answer) A sponge obviously doesn’t have a brain, a hydra is an organism and organisms don’t have brains ( hydra also doesn’t have eyes)

I'm pretty sure that these are the right answers. Anyways I hope I helped!
Answer:
The concentration gradient is the driving force.
Explanation:
Passive transport of substance occurs when they are moved from the region of their higher concentration to that of their lower concentration. The concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of substances between two regions or across the membrane. The concentration gradient of substances drives their passive movement. The passive movement of substances does not use metabolic energy. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are two examples of this transport.
