When ever any new species is introduced it affects the ecosystem because organisms that live there have to learn what that thing eat and does. they will need to know if they should be scared of this thing or not.

The invasive species are the species who are present in a non native ecosystem. The invasion of These species disturbs the environment of particular system by increasing the competition or destroying the vital component of the ecosystem.

The invasive species like brown tree snake exhaust the food of the other animals present in the ecosystem, as they are capable eating almost every type of food. Due to the presence of the brown tree snake, the competition for food increasing, which result in disappearance of many native species. Other invasive species can feed on the native species and cause decrease in their number, so, the invasive species disturb the ecological balance in the ecosystem.

Trees use narrow tubes to transport water upward. Which property of water allows the water to rise in these narrow tubes?

cluponka [151]

Answer:

C. Cohesion of molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion is the interaction of molecules of the same substance together. By the force of cohesion if two drops of water come together they form one. Water has high rates of cohesion due to hydrogen bonds.

This phenomenon also called surface tension and is what allows small insects to stand on water.

Cohesion along with adhesion of water to the walls of the narrow tube generate what is called capillarity. This allows liquids to ascend inside the narrow tubes. As long as the cohesion is less than the adhesion, the liquid will rise until both forces are equal.

Answer:

a. It's a carrier protein doing facillitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion may be defined as the transportation of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration that is down the concentration gradient without input of the energy. Whereas the active transport is transportation of the molecules from the low concentration to the high concentration which is against concentration gradient by the membrane protein.

The glucose transportation process requires membrane protein for the transport and does not require any energy. Therefore, it is carrier protein which is doing the facilitated diffusion.
