The correct answer is option B

The water gets mixed better at the poles as compared to that of equator because the salinity of the water keeps on decreasing and increasing.

The fresh water in the ocean decreases the salinity of the ocean changes and mixing of the water takes place.

The ocean layer is different due to the the ice bergs and fresh water that comes from the sea into the ocean.

Answer:

The total length will be "10 units". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given points are:

R(−2, 4)

S(3, 4)

T(3, −1)

On applying the distance formula,

⇒ $RS=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(4-4)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(0)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{25}$

⇒ $=5 \ units$

and,

⇒ $ST=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(-1-4)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{0+(-5)^2}$

⇒ $=5 \ units$

Now,

The total trail length will be:

= $RS+ST$

= $5+5$

= $10 \ units$

Answer: The correct answer is option C

FACILITATED DIFFUSION.

Explanation: FACILITATED DIFFUSION is a form of passive transport,it is the process by which substances(molecules) move from a region of higher concentration to a region if lower concentration along their concentration gradient through the help of a membrane transporter forming a pore or channel(Protein).

Facilitated diffusion dies not require high energy to occur since a concentration gradient is involved.
