Glucose provides energy for cells. Different cells have different mechanisms for glucose intake. Intestinal cells contain protei
Vlada [557]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Intestinal cell takes in glucose against Concentration gradient (uses energy in the form of ATP) to transport glucose into cell.

In blood cell, uptake of glucose occurs down concentration gradient. Hence, its facilitated diffusion (passive transport)

Glucose is a polar molecules due to presence of polar hydrophilic - OH group, hence carrier proteins are needed to provide a hydrophilic channel for glucose to enter the cell via facilitated diffusion.

The Earth takes a year to orbit around the Sun. What about the Moon?
Lesechka [4]

Answer

<em>C. The Moon orbits the Earth about once a month</em>

Over billions of years the earth’s gravitational field has tidally locked the moon in orbit so that its rotation about its axis is the same as that of its orbit around the earth.

This process is still continuing as the earth transfers some of its angular momentum to the moon lifting it to a higher orbit by a couple of centimeters a year. As it rises, its takes a fraction longer to complete an orbit, and its rotational speed slows down slightly to match.

The eventual conclusion of this is that the earth also would become tidally locked to the moon, and they will both face each other permanently. But this is going to take that long that the sun will probably have destroyed both the earth and the moon in its red giant phase before this happens.

<em>Hope this helps!\</em>

Vika [28.1K]

If you were to look at the age structure of a population of an endangered species and determine that there are mostly older individuals you could say that the population is declining and could be in danger of extinction.

<h3>What are endangered species?</h3>

An organism that faces extinction is referred to as an endangered species. The two main factors that cause a species to become endangered are habitat loss and genetic diversity loss.

Because it prevents our native fish, plants, and other animals from going extinct, the Endangered Species Act is crucial. There is no turning back once they are gone they are lost forever.

Endangered species are those that are at risk of going extinct and must therefore be safeguarded and conserved. Extinct species are those that no longer exist on the planet.

It's Important to Save Endangered Species because:

  • From antibiotics to anti-cancer medications, they are the sources of those substances.
  • They are the earliest indication of significant environmental problems.
  • They support the well-being of crops (and, indirectly, people).
  • They help the economy grow.

Fungi of the phylum Basidiomycota form mycorrhizal
Reika [66]

Answer:

The orchids derive nutrients from the association at very young stages of its life cycle while the fungi obtain water and organic matter

Explanation:

As stated in this question, fungi species belonging to the phylum Basidiomycota form mycorrhizal associations with a flowering plant called orchids. This relationship is a mutualistic one because both participants benefit from the relationship.

In this association, the young orchid plant relies on the mycorrhizal fungi's metabolism to get nutrients needed for its development in form of carbohydrates while the fungi in return gets water (from the roots of the plant) and organic matter.
