Answer:

He should look out for tiny leaf-like structures which mosses possess but algae does not .

Explanation:

In general, moss looks fibrous, feathered or latticed when viewed up close. Carpets of moss are springy to the touch. When germinating, moss puts up thin stems sometimes with leaves on top and reproductive spores. Algae have no threadlike structures or leaves. Instead, algae spread as a clump of living cells. Because algae usually grow in wet environments, they look like a slimy, wet mass, often green in color. Both moss and algae may appear green or brown depending on species and the dryness of the conditions.

Ivenika [448]

The correct answer is peroxisomes.  

Peroxisome refers to a small organelle found in the cytoplasm of various cells that comprises catalase (the reducing enzyme) and generally some oxidases.  

They are the minute vesicles and comprises the digestive enzymes used for dissociating toxic components in the cell. They are not similar to lysosomes on the basis of the kind of enzymes they withheld. The peroxisomes generally contain enzymes that need oxygen, that is, oxidative enzymes.

Natalka [10]

Explanation:

<u></u>

<u>From the diagram with corresponding labels:</u>

  1. Exocytosis
  2. Facilitated diffusion
  3. Endocytosis
  4. Diffusion
  5. Active transport

<u>Further explanation:</u>

Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid by layer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Active transport is a mediated process that requires the use of specialized membrane proteins these proteins require energy in the form of avenues and triphosphate or ATP in order to facilitate necessary conformational changes to the large protein molecules.

Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane. Channel proteins which are pores filled with water versus enabling charged molecules to diffuse across the membrane,  from regions of high concentration to regions of lower concentration. This is a passive part of facilitated diffusion

<em>...some very large molecules require specialized type of active transport in order to move across the membrane this includes endocytosis and exocytosis</em>

<em> </em>

During endocytosis large molecules cells and cell fragments moved across the plasma membrane through a process of invagination; piece of the external cell membrane falls into itself and forms a small pocket that surrounds the target molecule this breaks off from the membrane to form an intracellular vesicle; different methods of endocytosis such as Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis, take in cells,  water and targeted substances respectively.

Similarly, in exocytosis, the particles (Protein, Waste material etc.) surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. However, this membrane is formed in the cytoplasm, and attaches to the plasma membrane’s interior in a process opposite to endocytosis;  material is removed from the cell and exported into the cell’s exterior called the extracellular space.
