Answer:

Passive transport involves movement of substances from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.

Explanation:

Passive transport involves the passage of substances through a semi-permeable membrane, as occurs with transport at the level of cell membranes.

Generally, passive transport occurs with the movement of compounds from the space with the highest concentration of a specific substance to the space with the lowest concentration of the same substance, following the so-called concentration gradient. Theoretically, the gradient tends to disappear when the concentrations of substances have balanced out.

Regarding other options:

A. From areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. It is a feature of active transport.

C. From areas in which the concentration has reached a balance. There is no passive transport

D. From areas of differing concentrations with the use of cellular energy. Energy use involves active transport.

Primate evolution and behavior, such as hunting skills, have been directed in part by the development of depth perception. What

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer is the placement of the eyes.

Explanation:

Developing depth perception through evolution for reasons such as hunting and movement was crucial in the survival of the species and it was made possible by the change in the location of the eyes to the front of the head. Because of the location of the human eyes and the distance of approximately 6 centimeters between them, they perceive slightly different images of the world and this also helps with the depth perception.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

Net photosynthesis- 3mm/20min- 1.5mm/10min

Cellular respiration- 1mm/15min- 0.66mm/10min

Gross photosynthesis = Net photosynthesis + Cellular respiration = 1.5+0.66 = 2.16 (mm/10min)

Rate of photosynthesis = (gross photosynthesis)6 = 2.16 *6 = 12.96 mm/hr

As we are measuring rate of photosynthesis in hr ,we should multiply gross photosynthesis with 6 (as we measured gross photosynthesis for 10 min).

Can a person’s genotype be determined by their phenotype? Why or why not?

julsineya [31]

Answer:

No, a person's genotype cannot be determined solely by their phenotype as many genes in our genome do not get expressed.
