you don't understand some of these questions(I don't either) please try and post some answers. Thank You so much in advance.
PassiveCellular Transport (high to low concentration)

▪Diffusion –when, why & how does it occur?
▪Osmosis –when, why & how does it occur?
▪Facilitated diffusion –when, why & how does it occur?

Active Cellular Transport (low to high concentration)

▪Active transport –when, why & how does it occur?
▪Endocytosis –when, why & how does it occur? (phagocytosis vs. pinocytosis)
▪Exocytosis –when, why & how does it occur?

Membranes

Answer:

1 - Diffusion is when small, non-polar molecules pass through the cell membrane. It happens so that the cell can get vital nutrients, it is a type of passive transport.

2 - Osmosis is the transport of water through the cell membrane. It is a type of passive transport, the water moves to the side of the cell with less water.

3 - Facilitated diffusion is when protein channels or transports help large polar molecules like glucose that ordinarily couldn't get through the cell membrane pass through the membrane.

4 - Active transport is when a molecule requires energy, ATP, to pass through the cell membrane. An example of this is molecular pumps, the use energy, ATP, to work.

5 - Endocytosis is when a vesicle captures an outside substance for the cell. There are two types of endocytosis, phagocytosis, which is "cell eating" where the cell digests solids, the there's pinocytosis, which is "cell drinking" where the cell digests liquids.

6 - Exocytosis is when a vesicle removes a substance from the cell by combining with the cell membrane and pushing it out.

7 - The Membrane is made out of phospholipids

8 - Carrier proteins help molecules that are large and polar get into the cell.

What were the three major observations that charles darwin contributed to evolution?
Volgvan

Answer:

The 3 major observations were:

1. More individuals are produced each generation that can survive.

2. Phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the variation is heritable (through parents' genes).

3. Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive.

Explanation:

Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who proposed the theory of known to everyone as  'The Theory of Evolution' through natural selection.

Sweating and panting are examples of which characteristic of life?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Responding to the environment

Explanation:

Sweating and panting are mechanisms of homeostasis i.e the regulation of the body's internal environment in response to changes or fluctuations in the external environment.

Sweating is a physiological response to the body's core temperature rising above the limit of 36.5-37.5°C. Once the hypothalamus in the brain detects this rise in temperature, cooling mechanisms are initiated. One of these is sweating. Release and subsequent evaporation of sweat through the sweat glands produces a cooling effect.

Panting is a physiological response more observed in dogs. Dogs lack sweat glands and therefore cannot lower their core temperature through sweating. Panting utilizes saliva instead of sweat to lower body's temperature to the set limit.
