Answer:
D (proteins moving ions from low to high concentration across a cell membrane)
Explanation:
Active transport, by definition, is a type of substance transport that requires energy (typically in the form of ATP). Having said that, we can immediately eliminate B (aka water diffusion throughout the cytoplasm of a cell), as diffusion (osmosis in this case) does not require any expenditure/spending of energy. Next, we can cancel A and C because although they do require energy, there is no transport involved. Thus that leaves us with D. D is not only the answer because of the process of elimination but also b/c the ans. choice says that ions are being moved from low to high concentration, which is against the concentration gradient and thus requires energy. Hope you found this helpful! :)
Answer:
The environment plays a role in a mutant allele in a population because some mutations are more beneficial to the organism than other mutations.
Explanation:
Organisms with a beneficial allele mutation will be able to pass on their genes as they reproduce. The mutation makes them <em>fit</em> for survival in their environment. Other organisms <em>without </em>the beneficial allele won't be able to pass on their genes since it will be more difficult for them to survive in their environment. Natural selection will deem that the organisms with the mutation will survive better and be able to produce offspring with the same mutation.
The correct answer is - the release of methane from thawed permafrost.
In the past decade it has been noticed that the levels of methane are increasing in the atmosphere, and the biggest ''producer'' of this methane is the melting permafrost. There's huge amounts of methane trapped underground bellow the permafrost. But the permafrost is melting because of the global worming, so the methane is free to come out and go up in the atmosphere.
Answer:
lithosphere
Explanation:
The lithosphere is the outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and uppermost mantle.
I’d go with C hope it helps
