Answer:

The correct answer is Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The principle difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion is that active transport helps in the movement of various substances in the uphill direction which means against the concentration gradient.

    In simple words active transport helps in the movement of substance from the region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.

On the other hand during facilitated diffusion substances move along their concentration gradient which means from the high concentration region to the region of low concentration until the concentration of both sides become same.

The correct answer is - D) covered by warm shallow seas.

The fact that the crinoids are have an abundance in the fossil records in Pennsylvania in the Mississippian Period, tells us that this area was covered with shallow and warm seas. The reason why we can get that conclusion is that the crinoids live only in that kind of environment, so it simply a logical conclusion.

The geological data is also confirming this, as it is easily noticeable in the layers that during this period of the geologic past, what is now Pennsylvania, was covered with shallow sea waters. Also, this waters were warm too, as the climate was warm and humid and that period, so it was a perfect environment for the crinoids to flourish.

What are some applications of biotechnology?
mihalych1998 [28]
Biotechnology can be used to transform bacteria so they are able to make human proteins, such as insulin. It can also be used to create transgenic crops, such as crops that yield more food or resist insect pests. (I copied this off the web so just paraphrase)
