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 :)

Why are human populations not limited by the carrying capacity of their ecosystems
Akimi4 [234]

The human populations are not limited by the carrying capacity of their ecosystems, and they are the only species on Earth that are able to perform such a thing. The main reason for this is that the humans are able to transport resources of all sorts and for all needs from very distant places. Even if there's a very large population surrounded by desert, the humans are still able to survive by simply bringing in the necessary things from other places throughout he means of transportation. Another reason is that the humans are able to change and manipulate their environment to certain extent, being able to provide for themselves even in ecosystems that naturally are nowhere near close to provide those things for them.

True or false all animal cells have the same number of chromosomes
Art [367]
The statement that all animal cells have the same number of chromosomes is false. 
<span>The chromosomes are structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. </span>Cells from different species have different number of chromosomes. For example bacteria have one or two chromosomes, koalas have 16 chromosomes, snail 24, tiger cell has 38 chromosomes, carp has 100 and so on.

What role does water play in photosynthesis? Water behaves as a pigment in chloroplasts to absorb light. Water acts as an electr
dexar [7]

Answer:

Water provides hydrogen and electrons used in producing glucose.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is process peculiar to green plants and other organisms like algae and some bacteria. Plants synthesize their own food in form of an organic molecule (glucose) by combining carbondioxide (CO2) and H2O in the presence of sunlight. They absorb light energy from the sun to power the first process called LIGHT stage, where NADPH and ATP are produced to be used in the next stage. The electrons used to reduce NADP to NADPH comes from the "PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER"

CO2 is absorbed via the stomata in the leaves of plants. The CO2 is then fixed in the stroma of the CHLOROPLAST when it undergoes series of reactions in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose. However, the glucose molecule (C6H12O6) contains hydrogen which CO2 does not possess, this Hydrogen is provided by water during the light stage where it donated it to NADP+
