Answer:

Ice cores are cylinders of ice drilled from ice sheets/glaciers. ice cores tell scientists about temperature, volcanic activity, atmospheric composition, precipitation, and wind patterns.

Explanation:

the thickness of each layer in the core allow scientists to determine how much snow fell in the area during a particular year. the layers are formed by layers of different types of snow. During the summer, when it is light for 24 hours, the snow on the top layer changes texture. When winter arrives, it turns dark and cold again and more snow falls on top of the summer snow, creating distinct layers.

Hope this helps!

Softa [21]

The answer is; active transport in small intestines and passive transport in blood cells

In passive transport, no energy is required to transport the glucose molecules because they spon6tanosuely move down their concenntrati0n gradient. The transport protein in the blood cell membrane only enables the molecule to pass across the hydrophobic layer of lipid in the membrane and into the cell.

In active transport, energy is required in the transportation of glucose against their concentration gradient (glucose is highly concentrated in the lumen of the intestines than in the bloodstream). Sodium/Potassium (Na+/K+) pumps play a significant role in the transport of glucose. When sodium diffuses back into the cells, they drag along glucose molecules  with them across the sodium-glucose transporter protein.
