Answer: D) Tree roots improve soil water retention

There are many reasons which states that deforestation increases the risk of flood. First   , some water stay on the leaves and evaporates in to the atmosphere. Second, tree leaves reduce the impact of raindrops on the soil which causes less soil erosion.

Third, tree roots absorb water from the soil, which make the soil dry and it absorb more water rainwater. The roots of tree hold the soil in place and reduce the movement of sediment which reduce the capacity of river to break its banking. Thus, reducing the chances of flood.

___ transport moves molecules across the plasma membrane of a cell with the help of transport proteins and energy (atp).
eimsori [14]

Active transport moves molecules across the plasma membrane of a cell with the help of transport proteins and energy (ATP).

Active transport is the means of transport of molecules across the plasma membrane with the help of energy. This method is usually used for the transport of molecule against their concentration gradient, i.e., from lower concentration to higher concentration.

Plasma membrane is the outer layer surrounding the cell. It is made up of lipid bilayer, proteins, carbohydrates and cholesterol. The lipid bilayer is amphipathic since the lipid head is hydrophilic and its tail is hydrophobic. The plasma membrane is semi-permeable in nature.
