Answer: Active transport

Explanation:

Active transport can be defined as the process by which the molecules are transported against the concentration gradient by the help of energy.

The hormones like insulin are also transported by this process so that the hormone can reach to the place where it is required.

This is an energy consuming process because of sizeof molecule and the opposite of the concentration gradient.

S_A_V [24]

The number of organisms decreases on movement from producers to consumers in a food chain. This happens due to decreased energy levels at higher trophic levels.

<h3>What is a food chain?</h3>

Food chain is the sequence of matter and energy transfers as food from one organism to another.

Food chains interconnect locally into a food web as most organisms consume more than one type of animal or plant.

The number of organisms decreases on movement from producers to consumers in a food chain. This happens due to decreased energy levels at higher trophic levels.

Thus, it can be concluded that this is the main reason behind the number of snakes consumed as compared to other organisms.

describe the basic process of evolution by natural selection. Describe the underlying genetic basis and role of the environment
shepuryov [24]

Answer AND Explanation:

Darwin describes natural selection as a process whereby nature selects those organisms that have favourable characteristics to be parents of the next generation. The individuals possessing the favourable traits are better suited to the prevailing environmental conditions. This enables them to stand a better chance to survive in the struggle for existence due to limited resources.

Select all the potential effects of damming a river.
bonufazy [111]

The answer is; C & E

Building a dam alters the water regime down the dam. The dam also affects fish migration along the river, alters the transportation of sediments by the river downstream, and changes temperatures within the local environment of the dam. These changes, however, the subtle effect the ecosystem around the dam and down the river. The potential energy of the water held by the dam is, however, high and used to produce more electricity.
