I think it’s So lipid-soluble molecules do not enter or exit the plasma membrane unassisted
Hope this helps so sorry in advance if it’s wrong but hope it helps
Living because it consumes air and water
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological.
For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options.
A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water.
* Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice.
A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
* Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice.
A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation.
* Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice.
A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process.
* Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
<u>Answer</u>:- <em>Option 3 </em>(desert), <em>Option 4</em> (tundra) and <em>Option 5</em> (grassland).
<u>Explanation</u>:-
The amount of rainfall varies in different biomes:-
1. Tropical rain forests - The annual rainfall in these forests falls in the range of <em>125 to 660 cm</em> which varies according to the seasons.
2. Temperate rain forest - The annual rainfall in these forests can range from <em>200 cm to 350 cm</em> depending on the region where they are found. The annual rainfall is higher in warmer regions .
3. Desert - As the name suggests, the desert areas do not get enough rainfall. The annual rainfall in a desert is less than <em>25 cm</em>.
4. Tundra - It is a biome which is found in relatively cooler climates and the amount of rainfall is very less these regions. The annual rainfall in tundra biomes is less than <em>20 cm</em>.
5. Grassland - in these biomes, the rainfall is higher than the tundra and desert but is not as high as the rain forests and thus, grass is the dominant vegetation. The annual rainfall ranges from <em>60-90 cm</em>.
The prokaryotic cell lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
