Answer:
1. It is now illegal to import or purchase Burmese pythons in Florida. Probably, at some point, python owners who no longer wanted to care for them let them go in the Everglades. By the mid-1990s, the pythons had established a breeding population.
2. There have been no human deaths from wild-living Burmese pythons in Florida. Overall, the risk of attack is very low. ... The simplest and most sure-fire way to reduce the risk of human fatalities is to avoid interacting with a large constrictor.
Explanation:
Burmese pythons are not poisonous snakes, however they are constrictors, coiling around their prey and squeezing the life out of it. The officials in the state of Florida are extremely concerned about the invasion of these large snakes and their ability to take over most of the Everglades.
Improper temperature control is one of the primary causes of illness or diseases as if the temperature is not set right, it could make bacteria grow or expand which is potentially harmful especially if they are to consume food-- if you food is contaminated with harmful bacteria because of improper temperature control, it could cause the food to be contaminated or spoiled, when consumed, it could led the person to have food poisoning.
Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a high water concentration region through a selectively permeable membrane to a low water concentration region.
In diffusion, selectively permeable membrane is neither required nor involved while in osmosis, it is involved.
One of the most intelligent invertebrate animal is the octopus. These animals belong to the cephalopod class of molluscs. These animals demonstrate relatively complex reasoning especially when capturing prey. They also demonstrate their intelligence by their communicating skills and some even show signs of learning.
Answer:
The correct statement concerning the cell membrane lipid molecules is that "energy is not expended during diffusion" (Option d)
Explanation:
Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, and their hydrophobic tails against each other. Membranes are fluid, which means that molecules that form it have the capability to move through it.
Lipids can easily change places with other neighbor lipids by <u>lateral diffusion</u> in the same layer. This is passive diffusion, which means that it does not need energy to happen.
Lipids can also diffuse transversally to the other layer, but this kind of movement is not as easy as lateral diffusion.
There are also other lipidic movements as rotational diffusion that imply the rotation of the molecule.
Through this lipidic bilayer, there is also a passive transport of some particles from one side of the cell to the other which happens because of concentration differences.
