Considering information given in the passage and data found in the graph, select the response below that supports the argument t

hat biotechnology has had a positive impact on both society and the United States' economy.
A.
Shull's hybrid corn seeds created a new type of science in the United States—biotechnology. After the success of his seeds, other individuals entered the field and created their own hybrids. This caused the industry to grow and gave farmers a bigger selection of seeds from which to choose. Today, farmers can purchase everything they need for a successful corn crop from their seed distributors. The hybrid seed industry in the United States makes billions of dollars each year.


B.
From 1866 to 2011, farmers produced many bushels of corn each year. They could have produced more corn if weather conditions had been favorable. The drought during the Dust Bowl was hard on farmers growing corn. Hybrid corn seeds had no effect on corn production. The impact on society and the economy were small compared with the impact of the Dust Bowl droughts.


C.
Shull developed hybrid corn seed about 100 years ago. Some farmers bought the seed when it was first produced, but others did not. Farmers would have grown corn either way. Hybrid corn seed did not have an effect on corn production overall. It helped the economy by making more money for Shull and other scientists that produced hybrid corn seeds.


D.
Shull's creation of hybrid corn seed allowed farmers to produce more corn consistently throughout the years. Overall, the number of bushels harvested each year trends higher, as shown in the graph, between 1918 and 2011. Increased corn production meant more income for the farmers, which allowed them to take better care of their families and farms. Hybrid seed performed, even during the Dust Bowl, when non-hybrid farmers struggled to produce corn.

Active transport and facilitied diffusion relation
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Both facilitated diffusion and active transport are selective processes. Only selective molecules are allowed to cross the membrane. They utilize carrier proteins to move across the membrane.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process by which molecules move across a membrane respective of the concentration gradient. The plasma membrane is a <em>selectively permeable membrane</em> which allows specific molecules to move across the concentration gradient.  

Molecules migrate from a region of higher concentration to a lower concentration in case of diffusion. It can be classified into simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. These are examples of <em>passive transport</em>.

In facilitated diffusion molecules move across the concentration gradient with the help of <em>carrier proteins or channel proteins</em>. The carrier proteins bind to the molecule which has to be transported and change conformation to allow it to cross the membrane. For example glucose molecule is carried across through <em>GLUT transporter</em>. <em>Channel proteins</em> open a channel inside the membrane and molecules get transported across the gradient.

Active transport carries molecules against the concentration gradient with the assist of energy. ATP hydrolysis is utilized to generate energy. As a result of active transport, the molecules are aggregated on one side of the membrane.

There is a step 4 below i couldent fit in the pic
sweet [91]

1. Nucleus step1: DNA is transcribed into mRNA

2. Ribosome step2: mRNA is translated into protein

3. Endoplasmic Reticulum step 3: Newly synthesised proteins are transported.

4. Golgi apparatus Step 4: Proteins are modified then transported away

In Golgi body or apparatus, the proteins are modified, sorted and packaging occurs for secretion.

Tropical rainforest, temperate deciduous forest, and boreal forest (also called the taiga)
lorasvet [3.4K]
<span>Characteristics that mentioned biomes have in common are:
- They are all forests, dominated by trees and other woody vegetation.
- They inhabit animal life with great microbial diversity.
- They all have big carbon sinks.

Still, trees different in a number of ways in these three biomes:
- </span><span>Tropical rainforest: Trees are evergreen and have large green leaves. Canopy is multilayered and dense, so there is a little light in the forests.
- </span><span>Temperate deciduous forest: Trees are deciduous, leaves are lost annually. Canopy is moderately dense, so there is more light than in tropical rainforests.
- </span><span>Boreal forest: Trees are evergreen conifers with needle-like leaves. Canopy is thick and permits low light penetration.</span>
