Answer:

A. Water enters a plant by passing through the root cell membranes.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a kind of passive transport i.e. no energy input is required by the cell, that involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration/high solvent concentration to a region of high solute concentration/low solvent concentration. The movement is usually facilitated by a difference in concentration gradient between the cell's membrane and the extracellular solution.

In this question, water from the soil enters into the root's cell via its cell membrane, which acts as the semi-permeable membrane. This movement must have occured because the solute concentration in the root's cell is higher than that of the soil, forming an osmotic gradient.

1. The correct answer is pH.

The activity of the enzymes might be affected by environmental changes such as change in pH. Each enzyme has the point when it is the most active and this value is known as the optimum pH. Extremely high or low pH values can lead to loss of enzyme activity and stability.

Phosphofructokinase is sensitive to acidity, meaning that it is inhibited by low pH levels.

2. The correct answer is temperature.

Enzyme is sensitive to the environmental conditions such as temperature changes.

Temperature is a factor that usually increases the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions by increasing the activity of enzymes. But, after reaching the optimum temperature, reaction rate abruptly declines. This happens because enzymes are deactivated or denatured at a certain temperature (above 40° C).

Name two actions<br> that you could take to reduce elephant poaching.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

increase protection and communal conservancies

Explanation:

increase protection this one is a fairly basic solution, there are many different ways of implementing it. Some park protection agencies in Africa use drones to keep watch at night, while others have sought out military tactics in order to stop black market poachers. Communal conservancies despite global trends, Namibia has done something extraordinary. Between the years of 2002 and 2013, the elephant population has grown from 9,600 to 16,000. The government of Namibia has policies in action where local communities can establish wildlife tourism, and where communities can keep vast amounts of the revenue made.
