e then. How is the green crab used as evidence for the idea that oil still exists in the lower layers of the soil?
These organisms show increased reproductive rates compared with previous rates.
These organisms show increased predation on other species than prior to the spill.
These organisms dig more shallow burrows than they used to.
These organisms migrate to deeper waters than they did before.

I would guess that the answer would be :'<span>These organisms dig more shallow burrows than they used to.</span>' If the crabs actively dig burrows, as many crab species do, and a layer of oil has persisted in the lower soil strata, it makes sense that the crabs would be reducing the depths of their burrows to avoid contact with the oil. The other possibility is that the crabs might might migrate to deeper waters, but this is less likely because the crabs would be evolved to utilise the intertidal zone.

In one town, some people support a proposal to
Arlecino [84]
If the people decided to build their shopping mall on the large, undeveloped lot which would build a lot of jobs and businesses this would probably also reduce the variety of the wildlife population in this area. (4). This is also the correct answer.

This would happen because building a huge project like this would affect the local wildlife population which would be forced to move to another location.

Answer:

C. Osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is the net movement of solvent molecules, usually water, from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is a very useful for moving materials in and out of the cell.

Solutions are mixtures of solutes and solvents. The main aim of osmosis is for all the mixture part to be uniform and the solvent equally dispersed to all the part of the solution.

Osmosis is controlled to a large extent by concentration gradient.

Diffusion on the otherhand is the movement of molecules of a substance from one position to another.

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are just mechanisms for transport within a cell or a body.
