The cell is taking in substances through membrane proteins, without any energy expenditure of its own. The substances naturally

follow their concentration gradient. However, they must go through the protein channels, because they are too large to squeeze through the cell membrane. This process is called A) osmosis. B) endocytosis. C) active transport. D) facilitated diffusion.

Protein channels + no energy spent + following concentration gradient = passive transport via facilitated diffusion :)

Potassium has a half-life of 12 hours. What fraction of a 100g sample is left after 48 hours
EastWind [94]

Answer:

After 48 hours amount left = 6.25 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of potassium = 12 hours

Total mass = 100 g

Mass left after 48 hours = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives passed:

Number of half lives = Time elapsed / half life

Number of half lives = 48 hours/ 12 hours

Number of half lives = 4

At time zero = 100 g

At first half life = 100 g/ 2 = 50 g

At 2nd half life = 50 g/2 = 25 g

At 3rd half life = 25 g/2 = 12.5g

At 4th half life = 12.5 g/2 = 6.25 g

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:Transpiration

Explanation: water cycle is the continuous movement of water on the Earth to ensure the availability of water.water is a universal solvent that is essential for the survival of living things.water cycle ensure that clean water is available.plants require water which is gotten from the soil.water is lost from the leaves of trees through transpiration.transpiration may also occur through the lenticels and stomata of stems.

the movement of water through the plant is called transpiration pull.this is responsible for the pull of water into the leaves.it increases the absorption of minerals from the soil and also cools the plant.

This water vapour that transpire from the plant,is condense as clouds, which then falls to the Earth as rain and the water cycle continue

A twin study is conducted to examine the role of genetics and environment on the fondness of individuals for chocolate. Which of
djyliett [7]

"Identical twins are more similar on the trait than fraternal twins" would lead to the conclusion that genetic factors are important in the development of this trait.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Research performed on identical or fraternal twins are twin investigations. We seek to expose the significance for characteristics, phenotypes and diseases of environmental and genetic factors. Twin work is considered a key instrument in the domains of behavioral genetics and material, from biology to psychology.

Fraternal or dizygous twins each share around 50 % of their DNA, just like any other parent. Since the twins are born into the same family they share other factors of their surroundings. The existence of a given genetic or phenotypic trait in just one component of a pair of twins called discordance offers a valuable insight into influence on such a trait on climate.
