Oxygen and carbon dioxide move across cell membranes via simple diffusion, a process that requires no energy input and is driven by differences in concentration on either side of the cell membrane.

Explanation:

Simple diffusion is responsible for the spread of an air freshener through a room, or of a few drops of dye to eventually turn a glass of water a uniform color. Molecules naturally disperse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration.

As oxygen-rich (and carbon dioxide-poor) blood travels by a cell the oxygen diffuses through the cell membrane to the area of lower concentration inside the cell. It can do this easily because the oxygen molecule (O2) is very small and has no charge or polarity. The oxygen is used up rapidly by mitochondria. This rapid consumption causes oxygen to constantly move into the cell from the blood.

The mitochondria creates carbon dioxide (CO2) as a waste product of cellular respiration (the process that makes energy for your body). Because the CO2 is of a higher concentration in the cell than in the blood passing by, this gas continually diffuses out of the cell. It too is small and uncharged so it can pass through cell membranes easily.

These movements require no energy (in the form of ATP) on behalf of the cell.

Ozone is formed by the reaction of of nitrous oxides and reactive organic substance catalyzed by sunlight. This is a photochemical reaction provided with ozone forming compounds and sunlight.


Acid rain is defined as nitrous(NO2) and sulfurous (SO2) compounds enter the atmosphere as smog thereby precipitating as acid rain. This is detrimental in the environment as well as in agriculture. 


Global warming is precipitated by the burning of fossil fuels that increases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat, in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the main principle behind global warming.


Ocean acidification is when excessive carbon dioxide is dissolved in the oceans as carbonic acid thereby increasing the pH of the ocean. Increases in the pH of the ocean can affect the living conditions as well as industrial conditions near it.


Groundwater pollution is defined as contaminating the groundwater with the runoff from industrial agriculture including organic and inorganic wastes as well as infectious and nuclear wastes. 


Algae blooms or algal blooms are precipitated by eutrophication or the increase in nutrients in water such as nitrogenous compounds and phosphorus from fertilizers. Eutrophication of water precipitates the abnormally high growth rate of algae.


Ozone layer destruction is associated with CFCs such as Freon and aerosols as these compounds neutralize and destroy ozone. These compounds form free radicals that convert ozone (O3) to oxygen (O2) thereby reducing its capability to protect the earth from UV radiation.


Deforestation is primarily caused by urbanization (cutting down trees to provide empty land in building structures) and industrial farming (converting forests into agricultural lands for farming).

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The property that could indicate that the particle is a virus is an absence of cellular machinery (option B). Explanation: Viruses are particles that are not considered to be living organisms, which is due to a complete absence of organelles or cellular functions.
