Answer:
- Protozoans → would not have survived because they have no way to produce their own food → Heterotrophs
- Algae → would have survived without this food source → Heterotrophs
Explanation:
The protist kingdom is composed of two main groups. The principal difference between them is that algae can produce their own food, while protozoans need to ingest other organisms or organic molecules to survive.
- Algaes are autotroph
- Protozoans are heterotroph
<u>Protozoans</u>:
Microscopic unicellular organisms, eukaryotic and heterotrophs -predators or detritivores-. Most of them are aquatic free-living organisms, but some species are parasites. They feed on<u> bacteria</u>, other organic wastes, and other microscopic organisms. The phagocytosis process is normally used to ingest the food, invaginating their cell membrane.
<u>Algae</u>:
Eukaryotic micro- or macroscopic organisms. Autotroph and photosynthetic. They might be either unicellular or pluricellular. They use sunlight to synthesize organic matter from water, CO₂, and mineral salts. Unicellular ones can be free-living or associate with others to form colonies. They are part of the phytoplankton and are ingested by heterotrophic organisms. Pluricellular algae do not create real tissues but they compose a tale. The depth at which they inhabit depends on the pigments they produce. All of them inhabit fresh or sea waters.
D. Polarity and size.
<span>The size, polarity, and charge of a substance will determine whether or not the substance can cross the cell membrane by diffusion. The cholesterol was an example of a lipid, and is highly soluble in the nonpolar environment of the lipid bilayer. You saw, in the animation above, the cholesterol freely passing into the hydrophobic environment of the membrane. Cholesterol distributes freely in the membrane and then some fraction will dissolve in the aqueous environment of the cytoplasm. Water, on the other hand, while polar, is small enough to cross the membrane at a slow rate. Note that specialized transport proteins in certain cell membranes can provide a channel for the water, greatly increasing its rate of crossing the membrane. The lipid bilayer is much less permeable to the ion, because of its charge and larger size. As a general rule, charged molecules are much less permeable to the lipid bilayer.</span>
Answer:
Sensory transduction
Explanation:
The sensory process involves many steps to send the signals from the receptor to the brain.
In this, the step that is involved in the conversion of the physical energy into the electrical signal at the sensory receptor (in the given case mechanoreceptors) is known as the Sensory transduction.
When the mechanoreceptors get stimulus by the physical force, it opens the mechanical gate of the dendrites which allows the influx of the positive ions. The influx of the positive ions causes depolarization of the membrane which initiates the action potential which is then transmitted to the brain.
Thus, Sensory transduction is the correct answer.
Because it’s more likely that chance events will significantly change the frequencies of alleles in the population
