Why fission, regeneration and fragmentation, all are considered as methods of asexual reproduction ?

MrRa [10]

➜ Fission (binary and multiple), regeneration and fragmentation are considered as methods of asexual reproduction because all of them involve only one parent and gametes are not formed in them. New individuals produced after cell division are always genetically identical or clone to their parents.

The assisted transport of a molecule across the cell membrane without expenditure of energy is

Ghella [55]

The assisted transport of a molecule through the cell membrane in deprived of expenditure of energy is facilitated transport. It transports molecules via specific trans membrane integral proteins because of being passive the facilitated transport does not directly require chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis in the conveyance step itself but rather molecules and ions move down their concentration gradient.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

B) As seen from Earth, the Sun is the brightest star on the chart, and Barnard's Star is the dimmest

Explanation:

Among the given choices:

A) Of the stars listed, Proxima Centauri and Barnard's Star appear red because they burn the hottest.

This is not the correct answer because temperature of Barnard's star is 5000° F which is lowest in the data.

C) Small dwarf stars, like Proxima Centauri and Barnard's Star, do not burn as hot as medium dwarfs.

Proxima centauri being a small dwarf has a higher temperature than sun which is a medium dwarf.This shows that small dwarfs can burn hotter than medium dwarfs. So this option is not suitable.

D) Proxima Centauri and Barnard's Star are the closest because they are classified as "small dwarfs."

This is not correct choice because the data clearly states they are at greater distance.

So ,the correct choice is:

B) As seen from Earth, the Sun is the brightest star on the chart, and Barnard's Star is the dimmest.

Because: Sun is closest to the Earth and thus will appear the brightest as maximum light from it Reaches the Earth. Barnard's star is Farthest so less light reaches the Earth from it and it appears the dimmest.
