Answer:

Cuticle

Explanation:

Plant cuticle is a waxy covering over the aerial epidermal cells of all the plants. Waxes are composed of cutin and a various organic solvent-soluble lipids. The cuticle is an extracellular hydrophobic layer which provides protection against desiccation and external environmental stresses.  In other words the cucticle helps to retain water and give plants an adavanthe to live  terrestrial life.

In a short essay (100-150 words), describe Darwin's view of how natural selection resulted in
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Charles Darwin was the man who came with the theory of natural selection. He witnessed finches within the Galapagos Islands and made notes on the similarities and differences of the finches across the group of islands. Each of the islands comprises finches, which were identical, however distinct in different ways.  

Darwin found that the finches appeared to vary on the basis of the food sources available on each of the islands. If the prime food were seeds, the finches seemed to possess thicker beaks in order to break the seeds so that they can consume them.  

On the other hand, if the prime food sources were insects, then the finches seemed to exhibit smaller and pointer beaks so that they could hold the insects readily. In this way, there is unity in diversity. All of these birds are finches and exhibited a common ancestor from which they have originated into the distinct species as mentioned.  

Their variations lie in the habitats, in which they now inhabit. They had to amend with their environments in order to thrive, thus, offering diversity to unity.

Cells need to bring in molecules to carry out cellular processes. Often, this requires moving the molecules across the cell memb
aniked [119]

Answer:

B (active transport using ATP)

Explanation:

Movement of substances normally occur in the direction of concentration gradient/difference i.e. the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane. Letting molecules diffuse or pass down their concentration gradient does not require energy but pumping those molecules against gradient requires energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is called Active transport.

In order to perform certain cellular processes, cells need to move substances from their surroundings into the cell across their cell membrane. Moving this substances against the concentration gradient between the cell membrane and its extracellular fluid requires energy (ATP).

An example is the sodium-pottasium pump employed by animal cells in which they expend energy to move K+ molecules into the cell and Na+ molecules outside the cell against the concentration gradient of their cell membrane and extracellular solution.
