Answer:
The correct answer is: C. Active Transport.
Explanation:
Because Na+ and K+ are ions, which makes them <em>charged molecules</em>, they can only diffuse through the cell membrane when using specialized protein channels. This is called <u>facilitated diffusion</u> and is a form of passive transport because sodium and potassium move <em>following their gradients</em>, which are made of the difference in concentration between the inside of the cell and the outside of the cell. For example, potassium is highly concentrated inside the cell and poorly concentrated outside the cell, so potassium diffuses from the inside to the outside to even the concentrations.
But the question asks in which process Na+ and K+ move in and out of the cell SIMULTANEOUSLY, so the answer is actually <u>active transport</u>. Active transport is the opposite of passive transport. While passive transport occurs naturally and doesn't need ATP (energy) to happen, active transport needs ATP because it moves molecules AGAINST their gradient. One of the most famous and important structures involved in active transport is the Na+/K+ pump, which consists of a <em>specialized protein using energy to enter 2 potassium ions and take out 3 sodium ions at the same time</em>. This Na+/K+ is fundamental to maintain the gradients, which are important for the correct functioning of many cells.
Answer;
-Allele frequency change
In single-gene traits, natural selection can lead to allele frequency change.
Explanation;
-Allele frequencies can change over time within a single population, and frequently differ between populations. This change is due to four different processes: mutation, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow and genetic drift.
-Random forces lead to genetic drift. Sometimes, there can be random fluctuations in the numbers of alleles in a population. These changes in relative allele frequency, called genetic drift, can either increase or decrease by chance over time.

No. Not all organisms. Because in a way fish are organisms and there are some that live way down in the deep dark water. And they cannot swim up to where the sun is or they would disintegrate. So the answer would be no, not all organisms depend on the sun for energy. Different organisms have different ways of getting energy.
Answer:
1. Ends of the respiratory branches are called alveoli.
2. C. To control blood flow to different areas of the body depending on activities
Explanation:
1. The trachea divides into left and right primary bronchi which in turn divide multiple times upon entering the lungs and make the bronchial tree.
The final branches of the bronchial tree are the terminal bronchioles that lead to alveoli. The alveoli are the balloon-shaped structures and serve as the site of gas exchange between the blood and inhaled air.
2. The opening and closing of sphincters of capillary beds regulate the direction of blood flow. The opening of sphincters allows the blood to flow into associated branches of capillary beds while closed sphincters direct the blood from arterioles to venules via thoroughfare channel.
This local change in blood flow is responsible for the autoregulation of blood flow to different tissues to match their respective metabolic demands. For example, during physical activity, more blood is directed to skeletal and cardiac muscles.
