Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the net movement of a substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. The difference in concentration between two environments creates a concentration gradient which is what drives diffusion. Therefore, this movement does not require aid such as extra energy molecules for active transport or integral membrane proteins for directed movement, hence the answer is not B nor C. If the cell is in equilibrium with its environment, it means that the concentration of substances inside the cell is equal to the concentration outside the cell, and any movement that takes place will be random movement of substances across the plasma memberane. Movement in the cell will not cease as the cell is still active. Therefore, the answer cannot be D either.

Lichens that colonize bare rocks are an example of a pioneer
irina [24]

Answer:

C. A hillside that has been cleared by a volcanic eruption.

Explanation:

Pioneer species are hardy species which are the first to colonize barren environments or previously biodiverse steady-state ecosystems that have been disrupted, such as by fire or other natural disasters. Some lichens grow on rocks without soil, so may be among the first of life forms, and break down the rocks into soil for plants.

Hope this helps!

How did fossils help study life
Marizza181 [45]

Answer: By studying the fossil record we can tell how long life has existed on Earth, and how different plants and animals are related to each other. Often we can work out how and where they lived, and use this information to find out about ancient environments. Fossils can tell us a lot about the past.

_____ provides a mechanism by which the chromosome number may be kept the same from one generation to another. Mitosis Meiosis N
Setler [38]
Answer: mitosis.

During DNA replication a pair of chromosomes of from one cell genders two duplicated chromosomes (so the number of chromosomes is duplicated), then in the mitosis process the cell split into two identical cells each with half of the duplicated chromosomes, so at the end one cell with two chromosomes form two cells each with two chromosomes. So, the new generation of cells has the same number of chromosomes.

Ryan wants to see if storing his batteries in the refrigerator will make them last longer. He goes to Target and buys four batte
bulgar [2K]
<span>The battery which Ryan kept in fridge, assuming it was well protected from any moisture or water, it would tend to play the CD longer than the one stored in a desk drawer. This is because storing batteries in a cool dry location while protected from any moisture or water, can help to prolong shelf life. This is due to the fact that low temperatures tends to slow down the electric current flow within the electrolyte fluid inside the battery, hence, the rate of power dissipation is reduced thus slowing down of the power drain from battery by the electric current flow . Thus, the battery stored in the fridge tends to have lost less power, if any, compared to the one stored in a desk drawer.</span>
