Answer:
The answer is b. Both of them are characterized by selective permeability.
Explanation:
- Option a. states that both, the nuclear and the cell membrane have two layers. This is only true for the nuclear membrane that consists of two lipid bilayers whereas the plasma membrane only contains one layer.
- c. Only the nuclear membrane has nuclear pores that connect the two bilayers. The pores act as protein channels or passages that allow transport of materials. The cell membrane does contain channel proteins or transmembrane proteins but not protein channels.
- d. The nuclear membrane separates nuclear contents from the cytoplasm whereas the cell membrane separates cellular contents from the extracellular environment.

Answer:
Open-cast mining
Explanation:
The aftermath of open cast mining are pits (called quarries) on the surface of the earth where the surface soil has been removed/ displaced to access the mineral deposits that are just close or at the surface of the earth. This type of mining results in environmental degradation because they disturb the biodiversity of the ecosystem in which the mining is taking place. Rehabilitation of the area is required after the mining has been exhausted to restore the initial environment.
