Answer:

The correct answer is: A. active transport requires energy.

Explanation:

Active transport can be defined as the physiological process by which molecules are enforced to migrate from a region where their concentration is low to a region where their concentration is high across a semi-permeable membrane. This occurs by the expenditure of energy. This type of movement is usually carried out by the integral membrane transport proteins or carrier proteins those remain interspersed across the plasma membrane.
Passive transport can be defined as the physiological process in which no energy expenditure is required. This is because in this form of transport, molecules move from a region where their concentration is high to a region where their concentration is low, that is, down the gradient of their concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane. This type of movement can be mediated by simple diffusion or with the help of membrane transport proteins.

The type of rock that will be formed is METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Metamorphic rocks are pre-existing rocks that are formed as a result of physical or chemical alteration by mean of heat and pressure. The process transform the rock into a denser, more compact rock. Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble, gneiss and schist. Metamorphic rocks can be formed from already existing igneous or sedimentary rock. <span />

It is of the sand grain size.

It also comprises of matrix.

It is a metamorphosed sediment.

Arenite is formed by the erosion of the turbiditic re-deposition of the sands. It belongs to silicatic limestones.

What is a vestigial stucture

seropon [69]

Explanation:

Vestigiality is the retention during the process of evolution of genetically determined structures or attributes that have lost some or all of the ancestral function in a given species. Assessment of the vestigiality must generally rely on comparison with homologous features in related species.
