a. diffusion
b. primary active transport
c. osmosis
d. secondary active transport?

I believe the answer is B, primary active transport. Root hair cells in plant use active transport to absorb mineral ions such as nitrates from the soil. The concentrations of minerals in the soil are lower in the soil than in within the root hair cell, therefore the transport will be against the concentration gradient which does not favor diffusion, therefore the pant has to use active transport.

The options

a.) neutrophils

b.) lymphocytes

c.) basophils

d.) monocytes

The CORRECT ANSWER IS a.)

a.) neutrophils

Explanation:

Neutrophils are grouped as granulocytes (they possesses clearly seen cytoplasmic granules). It functions as the body's bacteria killers, and their numbers rises at a swift rate in times of acute bacterial infections. Neutrophils are active phagocytes; they are particularly partial to feed on bacteria. It make up around 40 percent to 60 percent of the white blood cells in the body, and its the first cells produced by the body as a response to a bacterial infection.

What is the relationship between the salinity and density of ocean water?
BartSMP [9]
Salinity and density share a positive relationship. As density increases, the amount of salts in the water—also known as salinity, increases. Various events can contribute to change in the density of seawater. Salinity can decrease from the melting of polar ice or increase from the freezing of polar ice.

Identify the process responsible for the effect that the salt water had on the plants.
Rama09 [41]
Osmosis. This<span> is the procedure in which water absorption through semi permeable membranes happens at high concentration levels. Semi permeable membranes pertain to tissues found in the plant roots; from there, water will be transported to an area with much lower concentration levels</span>
