Nutrients and waste both enter and leave cells through a process called _____.
babunello [35]
<span>Diffusion. Diffusion is when particles in a highly concentrated area spread out to an area of lower concentration. The membranes of cells are very thin, which allows diffusion of different materials to happen easily. During respiration, oxygen and glucose concentration in the cell is lower than in the surrounding blood. This causes oxygen and glucose to move into the cell via diffusion. Carbon dioxide is produced inside the cell and this makes the concentration of CO2 higher in the cell than in the blood, so the excess diffuses out of the cell.</span>

Basile [38]

Answer:

Earth radiates infrared radiation.

Incident infrared radiation is blocked.

Infrared radiation is blocked and heats Earth.

Visible and ultraviolet radiation heat Earth.

Explanation:

When the sunlight enters earth's atmosphere, it has short wavelength but after hitting the earth surface, it has long wavelength which allow very less solar radiation by the clouds and greenhouse gases to go into the atmosphere and as a result the earth heat up. if the greenhouse gases are increased in the atmosphere so more heat is blocked by these greenhouse gases and as a result global warming occur.
