Answer:

Explanation:

Although protons resemble other positive ions such as Na+ and K+ in their movement across membranes, in some respects they are unique. Hydrogen atoms are by far the most abundant type of atom in living organisms; they are plentiful not only in all carbon-containing biological molecules, but also in the water molecules that surround them. The protons in water are highly mobile, flickering through the hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules by rapidly dissociating from one water molecule to associate with its neighbor, Protons are thought to move across a protein pump embedded in a lipid bilayer in a similar way: they transfer from one amino acid side chain to another, following a special channel through the protein.

D. because White paper reflects all of the light that hits it. Whatever color that light is, the paper appears to be that color, since paper of that color would reflect only that color if white light was shone on it. That is, blue paper reflects the same color when white light is shone on it as white paper does when blue is shone on it.

Which process will result in a gain of energy in an ecosystem?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Photosynthesis in algae cells

Ecosystems were able to maintain themselves by cycling the nutrients and energy obtained from external sources. The flow of energy through a food chain is known as energy flow. At tropical level, solar energy is used by the primary producers  to produce organic plants materials through photosynthesis.

Most receptor proteins are embedded in the __________ of the cell membrane.
Naddik [55]
The appropriate response is lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is a widespread segment of all cell films. Its part is basic since its basic segments give the obstruction that denotes the limits of a cell.

Archy [21]

Answer:

Frogs have some important internal and external structures  that helps them to survive, grow and reproduce. Frog have almost similar internal anatomy to humans.

Frogs have the ability to respire through both lungs and skin. Skin is the external structure that helps them to respire in aquatic ecology.The skins helps to dissolves oxygen from the air and water and releases carbon-dioxide. Skin helps frogs to respire under water but if water do not have enough oxygen, frogs will drown.

<em>An internal structure called liver is present in frog same as human beings. </em> The liver releases chemical called bile that are utilized in digestion of fat and then emptied into the small intestine.

Hence, skin and liver are important for the survival of frog.

Atoms of a given element will have the same mass.
sergey [27]

Answer:

Atoms of the same chemical element do not always have the same mass because, although the number of protons in the nucleus is the same for all atoms of the same element, the number of neutrons is not. Most elements as they occur naturally on earth are mixtures of several isotopes.
