<span>d. neither of these will cross a plasma membrane.
Glucose cannot diffuse across a plasma membrane as it is polar. Since the question doesn't specify the type of diffusion, simple diffusion is assumed.
If you count facilitated diffusion, then A is the answer.</span>
Answer:
Option A.
Explanation:
Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude.
Answer:
Nonpoint-source pollution is the opposite of point-source pollution, with pollutants released in a wide area. As an example, picture a city street during a thunderstorm. As rainwater flows over asphalt, it washes away drops of oil that leaked from car engines, particles of tire rubber, dog waste, and trash. The runoff goes into a storm sewer and ends up in a nearby river. Runoff is a major cause of nonpoint-source pollution. It is a big problem in cities because of all the hard surfaces, including streets and roofs. The amount of pollutants washed from a single city block might be small, but when you add up the miles and miles of pavement in a big city you get a big problem.
In rural areas, runoff can wash sediment from the roads in a logged-over forest tract. It can also carry acid from abandoned mines and flush pesticides and fertilizer from farm fields. All of this pollution is likely to wind up in streams, rivers, and lakes.
Airborne pollutants are major contributors to acid rain. It forms in the atmosphere when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides combine with water. Because acid rain results from the long-range movement of those pollutants from many factories and power plants, it is considered nonpoint-source pollution.
Explanation:
Answer:
b. a capsule
Explanation:
The capsule is mainly made up of polysaccharides and surrounds many bacteria. Capsule staining includes mixing of the bacterial cells with dye and spread out in a thin film on a slide. After air-drying, the cells appear as light-colored structures present in a relatively dark blue-black background. This occurs since the dye particles cannot penetrate either the cell or its capsule. Therefore, the given slide with a colorless ring around the cells in a dark background represents the presence of a capsule around the observed cells.
