Answer:

Hope this helps:

Explanation:

There are two basic ways that substances can cross the plasma membrane: passive transport, which requires no energy; and active transport, which requires energy. Passive transport is explained in this section and Active transport is explained in the next section, Active Transport and Homeostasis.

And also

Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of gases, without the use of any energy or effort by the body, between the gas in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries in the lungs. Perfusion is the process by which the cardiovascular system pumps blood throughout the lungs.

Which of these tasks would a hydrologist be most likely to perform?
GuDViN [60]

Hydrologists are most likely to perform actions relating to estimating the amount of groundwater in an aquifer.

<h3>Hydrologists</h3>

Hydrologists are scientists that specialize in the study of how water relates to the various crusts of the earth.

Hydrology in itself refers to the branch of science that studies how water moves relative to the earth's crusts.

Thus, species identification, age of fossils, or extracting underground oils have nothing to do with the work of hydrologists.
