Answer:
Active transport
Explanation:
Since it is using energy (ATP) to transport molecules, it is transporting the molecules using active transport.
Nucleic acids that’s what the NA stands for in RNA and DNA
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Absolute age is defined as the numeric age of fossils.
To identify the absolute age of a fossil, the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock are measured. When fossils are formed in the rocks, a small amounts of radioactive elements is included in it. The process to identify age of fossil using radioactive elements is known radiometric dating. So, radioactive isotope and its decay product gives absolute age of fossils.
Hence, the correct answer is "D".
Answer:
2. Hip bones
Explanation:
More than 40 million years ago, whales had ancestors who walked on land. Even now, they have a feature they inherited from them - hip bones. Scientists used to think that they are vestigial, i.e. that they lost their function. However, recently they discovered that these bones help whales (and other marine mammals who have them, such as dolphins) maneuver better mating.
Whales developed the rest of the listed features later, when they became marine animals. This is why they are incorrect.
<span>The trick here is to understand the definition of each of the cellular transport or function mechanisms listed. These are some interesting (and strange) analogies!
Facilitated Diffusion
This is when a mechanism assists in diffusing (spreading) some material into an environment. The dog on the wagon going through a spring loaded door would shoot it out into the environment. This is an odd analogy but Point 3 would be the one.
Active Transport
Is when energy is expended to transport molecules somewhere against a concentration gradient or some other barrier. Examples include transporting molecules across a cell wall. The best analogy is the dog being dragged into a bathtub (Point 1).
Phagocytosis
This is when a larger cell consumes a molecule often like eating. This matches to point 2 - the child eating the doughnut.
Passive Diffusion
Is when a concentration of molecules naturally diffuse into an environment. This suits point 5 - the crowded room full of people.
Pinocytosis
Is the budding of cell membranes to consume liquid in the surrounding environment. I guess a woman drinking tea is the closest analogy listed (Point 4).</span>
