Answer:

Active transport requires energy from ATP while facilitated diffusion does not

Explanation:

Active transport and facilitated diffusion with the use of channel and carrier proteins are both ways by which ions, polar and large molecules cross a selectively permeable membrane.

The major difference is that; Active transport transport these particles from a low to high concentration, which is against concentration gradient and hence, energy is required to perform the task

Facilitated diffusion transport from a high to low concentration, which is through a concentration gradient and hence, no energy is required to perform the task.

Answer:

The correct answer is "a hypertonic solution".

Explanation:

Seawater is the most clear example of a hypertonic solution in nature. The concentration of ions in seawater are far more superior than the concentration of ions inside a plant or an animal cell, since seawater have an osmolarity of about 1000 mOsm/l. Therefore, at high tide a plant or animal cell will be in a hypertonic solution, and the cells must have adaptions to avoid cell shrinking and dead.

Answer:

The preferable option will be - A.

A. similar environments and specific traits increased their chances of survival.

Explanation:

The shark and dolphins have similar body shape and fins. But shark is a fish and dolphin is a mammal.

Both of them are exposed to similar kind of environments. Both of them possess a specific kind of alternative characters and traits.

So, Some species may have similar body structures even if they are not related because they evolved in similar environments and specific traits increased their chances of survival.

List properties Shared by Metalloids and Nonmetals. Thank you!

devlian [24]

The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties. All metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metals; and have at least one basic oxide. Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides. Most or some elements in each category share a range of other properties; a few elements have properties that are either anomalous given their category, or otherwise extraordinary.
