A natural color mutation occurs in a species of red beetles, causing some of them to be green in color. These bugs exist in a gr

assland environment, and many species of birds eat them as food. What will most likely happen to the population of the bugs in the future?

The population of beetle will increasingly become green, with subsequent generations, until it becomes the dominant phenotype. This is because the green beetles will be able to  camouflage with their environment and avoid being preyed on by the birds as compared to the black beetles. Therefore, the green beetle will have a high chance of reaching the reproductive stage and passing its genes to the next generation as compared to the black beetle.

Answer:

The population of beetle would mostly consist of green beetles.

Explanation:

Green colored beetles would have survival advantage in grassland as they can blend themselves within the green colored background of grasses. This would protect them from their predators. On the other hand, the red colored beetles would be easily located by predators and would be killed. So, in time, the beetle population would mostly consist of green beetles owing to their survival advantage in grassland environment.

A type of cellular transport is shown. Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport? Your answer: A.Osmosis
madreJ [45]

Answer:

B.Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

Explanation:

Substances move in and out of living cells through various transport means. Some substances move passively (without energy) while others move actively (with energy). Active transport of substances involves the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient.

Active transport moves against concentration gradient in the sense that the movement occurs from a region which is less concentrated to one which is more concentrated, hence, energy input in form of ATP is required for such transport to occur. This is the case of the cellular transport in the diagram. Therefore, it is an ACTIVE TRANSPORT because energy input (ATP) is required.

Note, Osmosis and facilitated diffusion are types of passive transport that requires no energy to occur.

andre [41]

Answer:

diverse proteins embedded in a phospholipid bilayer

Explanation:

According to fluid mosaic model the cell membrane is made of bilayer of phospholipid. Many proteins are embedded in this bi layer. Carbohydrate and cholesterol are also found in different forms. Carbohydrate can either be attached to the embedded protein in which case it is called as glycoprotein or it can be connected to the lipid molecule in layer and called as glycolipid.

Proteins can be found in two forms too. They can either be embedded in the layer i.e. they can penetrate single or both layers. These proteins are called as integral proteins. They can also be present on one side of the membrane and not penetrate the lipid bilayer in which case they are called as peripheral proteins.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

solute

Explanation:

The cell membrane with an integral molecule that consists of two similar parts with a specific recess. There are many particles in the extracellular fluid. One of these particles is labeled A.

Structure A is a solute

Solute refers to the component which is dissolved in the solvent.

The solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.

How does conduction heat the atmosphere
podryga [215]

Heat from the Earth's core and radiation from the Sun is transferred to the surface of the Earth by conduction. Contact of the atmosphere with these warm surfaces transfers thermal energy, which then heats up the rest of the air through convection.

The atmosphere is also slightly heated by absorption of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun. The warm land and water radiates infrared, some of which is absorbed by the atmosphere, adding to its thermal energy. The remaining heat on the surface is sent out into space in the form of infrared radiation.
