Answer:

D (proteins moving ions from low to high concentration across a cell membrane)

Explanation:

Active transport, by definition, is a type of substance transport that requires energy (typically in the form of ATP). Having said that, we can immediately eliminate B (aka water diffusion throughout the cytoplasm of a cell), as diffusion (osmosis in this case) does not require any expenditure/spending of energy. Next, we can cancel A and C because although they do require energy, there is no transport involved. Thus that leaves us with D. D is not only the answer because of the process of elimination but also b/c the ans. choice says that ions are being moved from low to high concentration, which is against the concentration gradient and thus requires energy. Hope you found this helpful! :)

The interactions that occur between organisms in an ecosystem: Predation, parasitism and herbivory.

Predation - Predating another animal for a prey

E.g : Lions And Antelopes

Paratism - Some small things that lives with the host, it can harm the host or harm the parasite.

E.g: dogs and lice or bacteria and humans

Herbivory - animals that eat plants

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Eukarya

Explanation:

According to the given information, the observed cells have nuclei and chloroplasts. The presence of a well-defined nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplasts is a feature of eukaryotic cells. All the eukaryotic organisms are assigned to the Domain Eukarya. Therefore, the observed cells belong to the domain Eukarya. Due to the presence of chloroplasts in them, these cells may belong to the kingdom Plantae of domain Eukarya. Domains Archaea and Bacteria include prokaryotic organisms.
