<span>Apocrine sweat glands release sweat into hair follicles. Unlike the more common eccrine sweat glands, these are found only in the armpits, anogenital region, ears and eyelids of humans. Unlike eccrine sweat, apocrine sweat doesn't really contribute to cooling the body. Apocrine sweat contains more chemical compounds than eccrine sweat; these feed bacteria on the skin which produce a detectable odor. Apocrine sweat glands become active at puberty and are most active in times of stress and sexual excitement.</span>

Molecule A is a simple sugar or amino acid, while molecule B is a starch or protein.

Explanation:

Molecule A, as a simple sugar or amino acid, consists of small molecules which can readily pass through the cell membrane, while Molecule B, as a starch or protein, consists of large molecules, thus, can't pass across the cell membrane.

This is the reason why the cell membrane is considered to be selectively permeable.

If two whales of maximum length mated, the selection in this case would be?

IceJOKER [234]

Hi!

The selection in this case would be natural selection.

Natural selection is a process that involves organisms with favorable characteristics having a higher chance of reproductive success, and passing on their traits onto the offspring. This process, as opposed to artificial selection, does not involve human intervention and is a natural phenomenon.

In our case, whales with maximum length (the favorable trait) are mating on accord of their own, without external factors governing the process; hence, the selection is natural.

Hope it helps!
