Answer:

The correct answer is: A) a pregnant woman.

Explanation:

Bodybuilders in particular need the lower body fat percentage possible in order to succeed in their career, since most of their bodies must be muscle. Professional ballet dancers need to be light and skinny to be able to perform their dance moves and to be lifted by their partners; a basketball player also needs a lower fat percentage and a higher muscle mass percentage to be able to play at his best; and a ranch hand as well needs to not be packing that much fat in order to make his job easier.

Pregnant women, however, need body fat to have healthy pregnancies. This doesn't mean that they do not need to take care of themselves, because a higher body fat than what it's needed can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and can difficult the pregnancy.

Therefore, of that list, only a clock would be a closed system.
Hope that helped! =)

The plasma membrane are composed of specific types of phospholipids that are asymmetrically distributed between the two monolaye
nlexa [21]

Answer:

b.Movement of phospholipids in the plasma membrane from one monolayer to the other requires the polar or charged head groupd to enter the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer. This process requires a large positive change in free-energy, thus making this type of movement unlikely without an input of energy

The plasma membrane serves a protective function for the cell and is a selective membrane for particles entry

Several groups of protists have variable modes of nutrition: Some species are photoautotrophs, whereas close relatives are heter
Radda [10]

Answer:

The endosymbiotic theory

Explanation:

Protists are the multicellular organisms which possess characteristics of both the prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

The protist can derive nutrition by either heterotrophic mode or photoautotrophic mode. This variation could exist within the same genus and same species.

This variation could be explained with the endosymbiotic origin of the organisms as some species could engulf the photosynthetic bacteria whereas some could have engulfed the chemosynthetic bacteria.

This can be observed in the green and red algae which depend on a different mode of nutrition belonging to the same group.

Thus, the endosymbiotic theory is correct.
