Answer:

Molecule A is a simple sugar or amino acid, while molecule B is a starch or protein.

Explanation:

Molecule A, as a simple sugar or amino acid, consists of small molecules which can readily pass through the cell membrane, while Molecule B, as a starch or protein, consists of large molecules, thus, can't pass across the cell membrane.

This is the reason why the cell membrane is considered to be selectively permeable.

What's the quickest way for an ant to go from the ground to the tree trunk?
seropon [69]

The quickest way for an ant to go from the ground to the tree trunk is by walking straight towards the tree and climbing the tree trunk. Ant will walk straight if it is guided by the pheromone trail left behind by the other ants.

The ant first decides to explore the area for food and threats before taking a decision to walk away from its current location, i.e, the ground. The ant then starts to climb the bark of the tree to reach a higher ground. It does so by leaving a pheromone trail behind. This pheromone trail helps in guiding the other ants towards a possible food source.

Why is it more common for birds to have nests with a few eggs rather than just one or a lot?
Vlad1618 [11]

Explanation:

The large size of a egg makes it difficult for the female to retain more than a single one egg at a time - carrying eggs would make flying harder and require more energy. (Bird eggs vary in size from the tiny 0.2 gramme eggs of hummingbirds to the enormous 9 kilogram eggs of the extinct elephant bird.)

Just as an aircraft cannot fly if it is overweight, all female birds must dispense with the fertile egg as soon as it is formed. And because the egg is such a protein-rich high-nuitrition prize to all sorts of predators, birds must find a secure place to hatch their eggs. Although birds' eggs appear to be fragile, they are in fact extremely robust. The oval shape applies the same rules of engineering as an arched bridge; the convex surface can withstand considerable pressure without breaking. This is essential if the egg is not to crack under the weight of the sitting bird. It takes 26 pounds of pressure to break a swan's egg and 120 pounds to smash the egg of an ostrich.
