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:
Nitrogen fixation
Explanation:
Certain soil bacteria, e.g., <em>Azobacter spp</em> can combine free nitrogen of the atmosphere with oxygen to form nitrates. This is called <u>nitrogen fixation</u>. Other nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium form symbiotic unions with the roots of leguminous plants called root nodules. They fix nitrogen to form nitrates which are used up by the host plant. Nitrifying soil bacteria, e.g., <em>Nitrobacter </em>convert nitrites to nitrates in a process called <u>nitrification</u>.

The answer is D. The natural selection is a theory which illustrates the gradual process of evolution in the population due to the change of environment. The key point is the mutation (variation) exists in the population before the environment changing. For C, if the environment does not change, though the adaptation is useful to environment, it will not be selected. Because the organisms without the adaptation will not die.
