Answer:

b. diffusion and osmosis across semi-permeable membranes

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a high energy carrying molecule in the system of living organisms. It posseses the ability to store and release energy for use by organisms during biochemical activities. However, some processes do not require ATP to occur and are called PASSIVE TRANSPORT while those that require energy (ATP) are called ACTIVE TRANSPORT.

In the above options, the processes listed as follows require ATP to occur:

- The active transport of glucose from the small intestine to the blood

- The movement of the flagella of sperm for motility

- Exocytosis of waste substances across a semi-permeable membrane

However, the diffusion and osmosis across semi-permeable membranes, which is a passive transport does not require ATP.

What is the glacial budget

IgorLugansk [536]

C would be the correct answer because The glacial budget refers to the balance between the amount of inputs versus outputs affecting the glacial system. So the glacier loses mass as evaporation will increase due to warmer temperatures and there will be melting at the snout. This part of a glacier is known as the zone of ablation.

Como podemos trasladar una caja de 50 kg desde planta baja hata un primer piso que presenta una inclinacion de 40º que tipo de m

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can easily move the box from a ground floor though to the first floor at an angle of 40° to the horizontal by simply pushing the load through an inclined plane. We will simply be lean the inclined plane on the building at the required angle and the push through the the height of the building.

Based on the explanation above, the best type of simple machine to use is an INCLINED PLANE. <em>Note that the essence of using a machine is simply to make our work easier and faster and also be able to overcome a much larger load with a minimal effort. </em>
