Answer:

Option (B) is the correct answer of the following question.

Explanation:

Collagens are a family of enzymes that perpetuate and protect many of the body's tissues, with the exception of connective tissue, femur, fibula, pigmentation, and the caucasian eye (optic disc). It would be the best choice on which to base the phylogeny.

  • The first and most concentrated substance in the body is the collagen genes.
  • It is a large, indigestible cellular muscle which maintains organisms and gives internal cells a texture.
  • Collagen is also an essential part of the crisscrossing membrane neurons.

Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

In a 10 m2 ecosystem, there are 60 raccoons. What is the population density of raccoons?
kakasveta [241]
The answer is 6 per m2.

A population density is the number of animals per 1 m2.
So, this problem can be solved by using a proportion:
If 60 raccoons live in 10 m2, how many raccons will live in the 1 m2.
60 raccoons : 10 m2 = x raccoons : 1 m2
60 raccoons : 10 = x raccoons
x raccoons = 6 raccoons

Thus, the population density is 6 raccoons per m2.

Explain the mechanisms for movement of materials across cellular membranes anatomy
trapecia [35]
There are 2 types of transport mechanisms that involve the movement of materials across the cellular membrane:

1. Passive Transport Mechanisms which is the movement of materials that does not require energy. Instead the movement relies on the permeability of the cell. Under this are three kinds of passive transport mechanisms:

a. Simple Diffusion: 
- the movement of materials from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. No external energy is necessary for the movement. The materials supply the energy themselves. 

b. Facilitated Diffusion:
- This differs from simple diffusion because the movement is facilitated by proteins that make up the structure of the membrane. The proteins include channel proteins that allow ions and smaller molecules to cross the membrane. The other protein are the carrier proteins, which bind to materials like sugar molecules and move it across the membrane.  

c. Osmosis:
- This is the diffusion of water across the membrane. Osmosis moves water from regions where there are more water molecules of water per volume to regions where there are less water molecules per volume.  

2. Active transport on the other hand is a movement mechanism that requires energy. It uses the energy to send materials against the direction it is coming from through simple diffusion. This mechanism is used in a way to keep unwanted ions or other materials out of the cell.
