Answer:

Molecules which move against the concentration gradient across the cell membrane employ the mechanism of active transportation.

Explanation:

Normally, permitted molecules moves across the cell membrane of the cell by the process of diffusion and osmosis. This is used when molecules move from hypertonic region to hypotonic region (if ions) and hypotonic to hypertonic (if water). This is a passive transportation which do not require the expense of energy from the cell.

In contrast, when molecules move in or out of the cell against their concentration gradient, that is ions moving from hypotonic region to hypertonic region, they implore the expense of energy in form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the involvement of the membrane carrier proteins. This is called active transport.

The triangular-shaped body of water that forms where a streams enters a larger body of water is a/an
GrogVix [38]


The best answer is B

Deltas are wet lands that form as rivers empty their water and sediments into another body of water such as an ocean, lake,  or another river. Deltas can also empty into land although this is less common.

A river moves more slowly as it nears its end. This causes sediment, solid material that has been carried downstream by the water  to fall to the river bottom.

The slowing of the river and the build up of sediment allows the river to break up from its single channel to several channels  forming a triangular flow at the mouth called a delta.
