Answer: D) The lizard and the snake are secondary consumers.
Explanation:
Producers are organisms that, simply put, produce their own food. All photosynthesizing plants are considered to be producers. Animals cannot be producers.
Primary consumers eat producers.
Secondary consumers eat primary consumers.
Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers, and so on.
The lizard eats a fly, which is a primary consumer. This makes the lizard a secondary consumer.
The snake eats a mouse, which is a primary consumer. This makes the snake a secondary consumer.
A) is incorrect because the hawk is a tertiary consumer.
B) is incorrect because grass is a producer, not a consumer
C) is incorrect because the lizard is a secondary consumer
Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.
The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:
They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).
They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.
Answer:
It allows information to go from one neuron to another through neurotransmitters.
Compositional layers are determined by their components, while mechanical layers are determined by their physical properties.
Due to the need to have completely controlled experiments to test a hypothesis, science can not prove everything. For example, the scientific method cannot alone say that global warming is bad or harmful to the world, as it can only study the objective causes and consequences.
