<span>Perhaps surprisingly, lakes and rivers constitute a tiny proportion of the world's total freshwater, so answer (b) is correct. Most of the freshwater on our planet is in fact locked up in ice and glaciers, some 68%. The majority of the rest, 30%, is actually underground, in springs and other groundwater feeders. That leaves just 2% that makes up all the rivers, lakes, ponds and other visible freshwater reservoirs that we see in our day-to-day lives.</span>
The childhood and early career of Charles Robert Darwin is discussed below.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. He was the fifth of six children of wealthy society doctor and financier Robert Darwin and Susannah Darwin. His grandfathers Erasmus Darwin and Josiah Wedgwood were both prominent abolitionists of the recent times.
Darwin started his career as an apprentice doctor, helping his father treat the poor of Shropshire, before he started to go to the University of Edinburgh Medical School. He found the lectures dull there and in his second year at the university he joined the Plinian Society, a student natural-history group. His father then sent him for a Bachelors of Arts degree which also he couldn't peruse.
After a long fight, he went on his famous voyage on HMS Beagle around the world where he collected his data and then gave his hypothesis in his book named '' On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection and Preservation of the Favoured Race in the Struggle for Life''
Answer:
K+-coupled.
Explanation:
The transport of the solutes may occur along the concentration gradient or against the concentration gradient. Two main types of transport that occur in living organism are active process and passive process.
The passive transport do not require the energy for its transport whereas the active transport require energy. The K+ coupled transport do not require any energy molecule for its transport and easily transfer by the leaky channel. Hence, the K+-coupled transport is not the common active transport.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Answer:
A. It uses the animal’s cellular machinery to reproduce inside the animal.
Explanation:
I would go with A because since it is a virus it cannot live outside the body and thus needs to rely on host's cell for metabolism as viruses are not capable of having their own metabolism.
