Biology
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Major difference between active transport and facilitated difusion is:

Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.

Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

  • Active transport involves the transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.
  • Since molecules move from lower concentration to higher concentration this mode of transport needs energy.
  • Facilitated diffusion do not require energy  but need some other molecule or carrier protein to transport the molecules across the membranes.
  • In facilitated diffusion, the molecules move from their region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

Which of the following is the most direct evidence for evolution?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

D. Fossil record.

Explanation:

The fossil record evidences the evolutionary history of life on Earth by tracing the life forms that existed from earlier geological times and remained in the sedimentary rock. Different fossils were dated in the sedimentary rocks of all geological periods. The simplest forms of life were discovered in the oldest rocks, while more complex fossil organisms were found in the newest rocks. In consequence, the fossil record can support the evolutionary process as proposed by Charles Darwin, who indicated that the simplest forms of life evolved in more complex organisms.

Which of the following statements regarding the moon and Earth is correct?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

It is believed that the moon was formed shortly (relative time) after the earth was newly formed. This occurred in a massive planet-sized collision that  ejected a huge chunk of the earth out into space. The chunk, still within earth gravitational reach, began orbiting the earth becoming the moon. Both earth and moon are slightly more than 4 billion years old.
