Biology

koban [17]4 years ago

A mutualistic relationship is when two organisms of different species "work together," each benefiting from the relationship. One example of a mutualistic relationship is that of the oxpecker (a kind of bird) and the rhinoceros or zebra. Oxpeckers land on rhinos or zebras and eat ticks and other parasites that live on their skin. The oxpeckers get food and the beasts get pest control. Also, when there is danger, the oxpeckers fly upward and scream a warning, which helps the symbiont (a name for the other partner in a relationship).

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A unicorn is a mythical creature that resembles a horse with a horn on its forehead. The unicorn could use its horn for self-defense. Some unicorns might also have wings so they could help the unicorn survive by escaping predators quickly. W could be for a winged unicorn (dominant) and w would be a unicorn without wings (recessive). L could be for a long unicorn horn, and l could be for a short horn. C would be a lighter fur color and c would be a darker fur color. That's all I could come up with for now :)

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The concentration gradient is the driving force.

Explanation:

Passive transport of substance occurs when they are moved from the region of their higher concentration to that of their lower concentration. The concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of substances between two regions or across the membrane. The concentration gradient of substances drives their passive movement. The passive movement of substances does not use metabolic energy.  Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are two examples of this transport.
