Ecological pyramids are drawn where predators are above prey and they show the population number of each organism shown. Therefore, as the pyramid rises, the population number of the organism decreases, ultimately resulting in a roughly pyramidal shape. Since, organisms higher up the food chain tend to be less numerous than those at the preceding trophic levels, the pyramid is often the classic pyramidal shape. The difference in numbers of organisms at different levels can be so great that logarithmic scales have to be used.
Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth's atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gases, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere.
Answer:
<h3>A. </h3>
Explanation:
<h3>Tutorial</h3><h3>Diffusion</h3><h3>Diffusion means that the net movement </h3><h3>of particles (molecules) is from an area of high concentration to low concentration.</h3>
<h3>Graph of the simple and facilitated diffusion taking into account the rate of uptake and the concentration</h3>
<h3>If the particles can move through the lipid bilayer by simple diffusion, then there is</h3><h3> no limit to the number that can fit </h3><h3>through the membrane. The rate of diffusion increases linearly as we add </h3><h3>more particles to one side of the membrane.</h3>
<h3>If the particles can only pass through protein channels, then the rate of </h3><h3>diffusion is determined by the number of channels as well as the number of particles.</h3>
<h3>Once the channels operate at their maximal rate, a further increase in </h3><h3>particle numbers no longer increases the apparent rate of diffusion. At this limited rate we describe the protein channel as being saturated.</h3>
<h3>The cartoon illustrates several points about facilitated diffusion. The particles are more concentrated on one side of the membrane, and yet they can move in both directions. However, the net movement is from high particle concentration to low. If the number of particles gets so high on one side of the membrane that they</h3><h3> interfere with diffusion through the </h3><h3>protein channel, then we observe a limit to the rate of diffusion at the point of saturation.</h3>

<h3>Simple diffusion does not require energy: facilitated diffusion requires a source of ATP. Simple diffusion can only move material in the direction of a </h3><h3>concentration gradient; facilitated </h3><h3>diffusion moves materials with and against a concertion gradient. </h3>
