Answer:

The correct option is b

Explanation:

Phospholipids are lipids that contains a phosphate group, which forms the "head" of the molecule and is hydrophilic (water loving). The "tail" of phospholipids is made of two fatty acids which are hydrophobic (water fearing). The phospholipid in the cell membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier that regulates what goes in and out of the cell <u>thereby protecting the cell from some external molecules and ions</u>.

  • Plant ---> Aphid ----> Spiders
  • Plant ---> Aphid ----> Bat

<h3>What is a food chain?</h3>

A food chain is a chart that shows how food is transferred from producers to consumers.

Producers are plants as they are responsible for producing food from inorganic materials using the Sun's energy.

Consumers depend on plants and other organisms.

Select the correct the correct answer. The arrows indecate the direction of flow. Which place experiences monsoos?
enot [183]

Answer:

India experiences the monsoon season

Explanation:

From the picture, it can be seen that India experiences the monsoon season.

This is evident in that the southwestern summer monsoon is brought into a low-pressure area primarily as a result of great heat moving over the Thar Desert in places like Rajasthan and other nearby areas during summer.

This is illustrated in the picture as wind direction moves inwards at this period, making the moisture-rich wind blowing from the Indian Ocean moves to the low-pressure region, hitting the great Himalayas, and thereby leads to rainfall.

Evolution is the
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Evolution is the <u>biological process</u> that happens over time in a population, giving rise to new <u>species.</u> The theory of evolution states that all organisms alive on Earth today <u>have a common ancestor</u> which lived <u>years ago</u>.

Explanation:

Evolution is one of the fundamental reason of diverse life on Earth today. Principally, this process takes place by changes in genetic elements via mutations and crossing-over. The positive changes (mutations) allow the organism to develop better condition in order to survive in changing environmment. However, if the changes takes place at major scale, it also leads to the creation/development of new species. To explain this further, I have added a photograph where we can see how different organisms were evolved in the history of Earth.
