Answer:

They occur in thousands of years or within billions of years

They affect populations and species more slowly than short-term changes

They can affect the DNA of living things over time.​

Explanation:

Environmental changes occur when natural phenomenon and activities if humans brings about a disturbance of the natural environment thereby causing a change or impact on the ecosystem of the environment.  Environmental changes could be short-term or long-term. Short-term changes occur within minutes, days, weeks or more, and usually has a drastic impact on a population. Short-term change often do not allow organism in an environment to adapt well, and could lead to migrration or extinction of such species of organisms.

Long-term environmental change, on the other hand takes thousands or more years to occur. They occur gradually that their impact on organisms is barely noticeable. It gives enough time for the species of organisms in the environment to adapt. It could bring about a change in the DNA of organisms over time. An example of long-term environmental change is global warming resulting from climate change.

Therefore, the statements that describe long-term environmental changes are:

They occur in thousands of years or within billions of years

They affect populations and species more slowly than short-term changes

They can affect the DNA of living things over time.​

Not all substances can pass through the cell membrane; some molecules, like starch are too large. The cell membrane is called selectively permeable because of this.

The outer hair cells change length in response to basilar membrane motion. What does that accomplish?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Outer hair cells change their axial dimensions in response to electrical stimulation.

What is basilar membrane motion?

Hair cell stereocilia move as a result of the basilar membrane's movement. The tectorial membrane and the hair cells, which are connected to the basilar membrane, move along with it when it moves, and the stereocilia bend in response to the relative motion of the tectorial membrane.

The hair cells that are linked to the auditory nerve fibers are stimulated by the basilar membrane's movement. While the outside hair cells actively affect the basilar membrane's vibrations, the inner hair cells convert hydromechanical vibration into action potentials.

With each sound cycle, the intracellular voltage of the outer hair cells varies, causing them to lengthen and contract. This increases the organ of Corti's vibration, enabling exceptionally high hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity.

Dodder is a parasitic plant, which has roots for support and absorption of nutrients from the host plant. Determine what kind of
skad [1K]
The original roots of dodder usually die. As a parasitic plant that cannot produce its own chlorophyll, it breaks away from its root system as the roots has no apparent root cap nor apical meristems. Hence the "root" is not performing its very function of water and nutrient uptake. It then produces haustoria, a root-shaped fungi which penetrates host plant which makes the dodder parasitic.
