Stomata are tiny pores present in the leaf that allows gas exchange and is where water vapour leaves plants and carbon dioxide enters. Special cells called guard cells present in the stomata, control each pore's opening or closing. When stomata are open, transpiration rates increase; when they are closed, transpiration rates decrease.
<span>While the open ocean produces little in terms of biomass, it contributes a great amount to the biosphere because of its serving as a habitat for small, primary producers as well as playing a big role in geochemical cycling.</span>
Answer:
The correct statement concerning the cell membrane lipid molecules is that "energy is not expended during diffusion" (Option d)
Explanation:
Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, and their hydrophobic tails against each other. Membranes are fluid, which means that molecules that form it have the capability to move through it.
Lipids can easily change places with other neighbor lipids by <u>lateral diffusion</u> in the same layer. This is passive diffusion, which means that it does not need energy to happen.
Lipids can also diffuse transversally to the other layer, but this kind of movement is not as easy as lateral diffusion.
There are also other lipidic movements as rotational diffusion that imply the rotation of the molecule.
Through this lipidic bilayer, there is also a passive transport of some particles from one side of the cell to the other which happens because of concentration differences.
Answer:

Explanation:
As per the Newton's first law of motion,

where "v" is the final speed
"u" is the initial speed
"a" is the acceleration
and "t" is the time taken
Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

The cart be traveling at a speed of
by the time it reaches level ground.
