Passive diffusion is a form of passive transport and a type of diffusion by which particles from a high concentration gradient passes through a biological membrane to a low concentration gradient. Diffusion, or simple diffusion on the other hand, is the passage of molecules without the need of a membrane.
Answer: 1, 2, 4 are accurate.
Explanation:
1. Joe is on a hill (on a trail) above the ocean. The beach and ocean are at similar altitudes. Therefore Joe is at a higher altitude than if he was at the beach.
2. Since Joe is on a hill, he has a higher altitude than at sea level. Air at a higher altitude has lower density because there is less air "ontop" of itself than at lower altitudes. As well, his hill is above the ocean, which means there is a lot of water, making the air more humid than where he is. Humidity also makes air denser.
4.The air pressure will decrease if Joe goes up to higher altitudes because there will be less air on top of itself.
I believe that the best answer for this question is false. The individual who was the first to describe microbes was Antonie van Leeukwenhoek. He is considered to be the Father of Microbiology and the first microbiologist. Hook was actually his contemporary. I hope this helps.
