Answer:

The hydrophobic core of the membrane does not allow the charged particles to pass through it.

Explanation:

The inner core of the membrane is made up of hydrophobic fatty acid tails of phospholipids. Due to this, some substances such as large, charged and polar particles cannot cross the membrane. This is why Na+ with a positive charge cross the membrane with the help of transport proteins only. On the other hand, molecular oxygen (O2) has a small structure and does not carry any charge. Therefore, it can cross the membrane without any help of transport proteins.

Morning commuter traffic in cities contributes to ____ smog. In this type of air pollution, a mixing of ____ from certain plants
azamat

Answer:

photochemical

hydrocarbon

Explanation:

Morning commuter traffic in cities contributes to<u> photochemical</u> smog. In this type of air pollution, a mixing of <u>hydrocarbons</u> from certain plants, nitrogen oxides from cars, and UV radiation from the sun results in a variety of pollutants, such as ground-level ozone, which can cause coughing and breathing problems.

<em>Photochemical smogs are caused by the photochemical reaction of hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides in the lower atmosphere with sunlight playing a major role. The reaction of the hydrocarbon with the nitrogen oxide in the presence of light leads to the evolution of ozone gas while nitrogen oxide has the capacity to react with the sunlight on its own to produce nitrogen dioxide. This result in the formation of smog</em>

Which of the following is an example of primary succession?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

B. the appearance of lichens and mosses in an area where a glacier has recently melted away

Explanation:

Ecological succession, which refers to the series of changes that occurs over time in an ecosystem, can be of two types namely: primary succession and secondary succession.

Primary succession is a succession that involves an area where no form of life has grown previously, hence, the area of land is barren e.g bare rock. Primary succession is first colonized by species called PIONEER SPECIES e.g. lichens, mosses etc.

According to this question, "the appearance of lichens and mosses (pioneer species) in an area where a glacier has recently melted away" is an example of PRIMARY SUCCESSION.
