Answer:
D. The presence of aquaporins (proteins that form water channels in the membrane) should speed up the process of osmosis.
Explanation:
Water moves in the cells through osmosis which means water moves from its higher concentration to lower concentration. In many animals and plants, water channels are also present which is called aquaporins which allow the water to move through it in and out of cell more quickly.
The rate of diffusion by channel proteins is higher than simple diffusion therefore the aquaporins speed up the process of osmosis. No ATP is required to transport the water through aquaporin channel proteins.
Answer:
Explanation:
A community structure is define by the diverse organism present and the various number of species.
A community requires both biotic and abiotic factor to form a good structure.
Base population is needed - this are the primary producer, that transfer energy to other organism in the environment. The produce their food themselves.
Consumers - consumers feeds on producers, herbivores animals feeds on producer/plant while carnivores feeds on herbivores. Energy is then transfer when they chemical reaction takes place via the food comes
Decomposer - They act on the dead and remains of plant and animal. They help release nutrient back into the soil. Example of decomposer is earth worm.
Answer:
Frogs have smooth or slimy skin that is moist, whereas toads have thicker, bumpy skin that is usually dry. All toads are poisonous, while frogs are not.
Phase change is the change in state. i.e. water to steam or ice to water
Answer:
c. Factors 1 and 2 may be influenced by both nature and human factors
Explanation:
The sea level rising and the change in the atmospheric gases are both processes that are influenced by the nature, as well as by the human activities. Naturally, the earth has its own cycles, known as Milankovich cycles, through which the Earth warms up, or cools down, resulting in change of the atmospheric gases, and in accordance to that, change in the sea levels depending on the global climate. The humans to have become a big factor in the past few hundred years. The reason for that is that the humans with their activity started to release lot of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, especially CO2 and methane. That has been changing the composition of the atmosphere, and the temperatures have been rising. The higher the temperatures, the more ice is melting around the poles and on the high mountains, resulting in an increase in the sea levels.
