Well matter is basically any substance that has mass and takes up space. Example, you have a ball, or a table, or anything really. That is mass. But anything that doesn't take up space or has mass isn't matter. So, anything that doesn't have a mass or take up space is not matter. Hope this helped you understand. :D
Gametes are produced in meiosis, they are a sperm or egg that is fused together with another gamete to make a zygote.
Answer:
Animals at the top of the food chain are too hard to be caught and eaten, while plants and smaller animals are eaten easily.
Explanation:
Answer: B and D
Explanation: We can break down why the correct answers are choices B and D by understanding why A and C are incorrect.
Option A states that active transport utilizes channel proteins, and facilitated diffusion utilizes carrier proteins. This is incorrect. Active transport involves carrier proteins, and facilitated diffusion involves channel proteins. Carrier proteins are different from channel proteins in that, while channel proteins can only facilitate the passive diffusion of ions into or out of the cell along their concentration gradient, carrier proteins can also use ATP to move ions in or out of the cell against their concentration gradient.
This brings us to why option C is also incorrect. Option C states that both processes require the input of energy in the form of ATP. While active transport requires the use of ATP to transport ions with or against their concentration gradient, facilitated diffusion does not. This is easily remembered when we consider that active transport is called *active* transport because the cell is *actively* using energy to transport ions.
Hope this helped.
