Answer:

What do they look like?

Glaciers look like solid blocks of ice.

What climate do they exist in?

Regions that have high snowfall in winter and cool temperatures in summer.

Where can you find them?

Most of the world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even Africa.

What do you think we can learn from glaciers?

Glaciers preserve bits of atmosphere from thousands of years ago in these tiny air bubbles, or, deeper within the core, trapped within the ice itself. This is one way scientists know that there have been several Ice Ages. Scientists are also finding that glaciers reveal clues about global warming.

(The last question is unclear to me, so I'm going to take a guess as to what you meant)

Why is sea ice so important?

Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate.

I hope this helps!! :3

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is - through facilitated diffusion and active transport.

Glucose is a six-carbon sugar molecule that is directly utilized by cells to provide energy. A glucose molecule is large enough to go through a cell membrane with simple diffusion.  

Cells help glucose molecules to cross the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion and active transport. Active transport is of two types primary and secondary active transport to help the glucose molecule to cross the membrane.
