Diffusion is a type of passive transport. Why?

Biology
1 answer:
FromTheMoon [43]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Diffusion expends no energy. Rather the different concentrations of materials in different areas are a form of potential energy, and diffusion is the dissipation of that potential energy as materials move down their concentration gradients, from high to low.

Explain how the failure to regulate detrimental practices on private property might have widespread negative environmental conse
olganol [36]
The environmental effects of harmful practices on private property are not essentially restricted to private property, it can also affect public property. Water polluted on private property might stream down into a local river or an aquifer used for public purposes like drinking water or for recreational parks (swimming pools). Landowners who slaughter travelling animals on their property are putting an end to creatures that are part of a bigger ecosystem; the loss of these animals will affect all the ecosystems along the migration route.

Which of the following would have the greatest ecosystem diversity? Group of answer choices a lake a prairie the land an organic
miv72 [106K]

Options:

  • a lake
  • a prairie
  • the land an organic farmer uses to raise crops to feed his dairy cattle
  • a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains

Answer:

a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains

Explanation:

The land a farmer uses is likely to be quite highly regulated in order to ensure that his dairy cattle thrive. That means the growth of certain plants will be controlled, and this will likely impact diversity.

A lake and a prairie could have diverse and balanced ecosystems. However, due to the limited habitat are likely only to harbour specific organisms. E.g. the lake will only harbor organisms that thrive in water environments.

A large island will, first of all, have a lot of space to support diversity. It is in the tropics, meaning it will have species suited to a hot and wet environment. Since it is an island, there will also be the involvement of sea/ocean dwelling creatures. However, there is also mountainous habitat that has snow, meaning it is high up and cold. This provides a habitat for even more species adapted to different environments.

Therefore, the island will be the most diverse.
