Answer:
A
Explanation:
There are different mechanisms for transport of molecules across the cell membrane. One kind of this transport is facilitated diffusion, this is a form of passive transport, not requiring any ATP (the opposite would be active transport, where it does require ATP.
Simple diffusion does require special transport proteins, and neither does osmosis. Filtration is a technique used for sterilisation of water, where any impurities can be drawn out of the liquid
Answer: Soil moisture and fertility
Cheat grass is likely to decrease the soil moisture of the region, thus rendering the soil infertile and unfit for other plants growth.
Explanation:
Cheatgrass is an exotic weed native to Europe, West Asia and Northern Africa. Cheatgrasses outcompeted native vegetation as a result of large number of livestocks like cattle and sheep into sagebrush region. The livestocks overgrazed on native vegetation, which resulted to a void filled rapidly by Cheatgrass.
Cheatgrass grows on pastures, hills, and ranges. Wildfires promote more Cheatgrass but destroy native plants vegetation. Cheatgrass can survive drought due to deep root system they possess. The deep root system make the plant to grow and flourish with even small amount of water. Its deep root system reduce soil moisture and deplete soil fertility, preventing the growth of other plants. Also, Cheatgrass is self germinating and require les soil to grow. All these attributes that favor Cheatgrass have threatened native plants such as sagebrush plants and woodlands.
Answer:Ecosystem Energy
Nearly all of the energy that drives ecosystems ultimately comes from the sun. Solar energy, which is an abiotic factor, by the way, enters the ecosystem through the process of photosynthesis
The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow.
If the Earths polar Ice melts the ocean levels will increase because of the increased amount of water. Some peninsulas and islands would decrease because they would sink from the risen water.
