<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • The spinal cord has numerous groups of nerve fibers going towards and coming from the brain
  • These have been collectively called the ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cord, respectively, these tracts are responsible for carrying sensory and motor stimuli to and from the periphery (respectively)
  • The ascending tracts transmit sensory information from the sensory receptors to higher levels of the CNS
  • The descending tracts originate from different cortical areas and from brain stem nuclei
  • The descending pathway carry information associated with maintenance of motor activities such as posture, balance, muscle tone, and visceral and somatic reflex activity

Since hydropower is powered by water, it’s a good fuel source. It will not contaminate the air like power plants that release fossil fuels, for example coal and oil. It does not rely on international fuel sources and lets each state make their own energy.

Which of the following would not be facilitated diffusion?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

A. A water molecule passes through a semi permeable membrane

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of a molecule without any assistance from a protein or protein channel.

In facilitated diffusion, a molecule will diffuse by itself through a semi permeable membrane, such as the cell membrane.

Answer choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they are all examples of facilitated diffusion. The molecules required assistance from a protein.

Answer choice A is correct because the water molecule was able to pass through by itself.

So, the correct answer is A. A water molecule passes through a semi permeable membrane
