Sati [7]3 years ago

The energy produced from flow of water or "Hydro-power" is different to energy produced from iron, petroleum and coal as it is a clean and renewable form of energy. Hydro-power is derived from the kinetic energy of the natural flow of water like in the case of a water mill whereas the other forms listed require combustion of the fuel source that produces harmful gases leaving a negative impact on the environment. Also, hydro-power is one of the cheapest forms of energy production.  
However, it should be noted that large-scale production of electrical energy from flowing water known as "Hydroelectric Power" uses man-made dams to store water in lakes as a source of potential energy. These dams can also have a negative impact on the environment as the natural flow of water is restricted. Some scientists also suggest that the construction of a dam leads to an increase in the number of earthquakes in and around the area of construction.

I believe the correct answer would be B.  Semipermeable means that it allows certain substances to pass through, and certain other ones to not pass through.  So given all of your options, I would say that B makes the most sense.  Hope this helped!

ANEK [815]

The answer is mRNA (messenger-RNA). In most eukaryotes, transcription occurs by firstly creating a primary transcript.  This primary transcript is processed into a pre-mRNA that later becomes a mRNA by removing introns. Processing of the RNA also includes polyadenylation and 5’ capping.
