JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

b. diffusion and osmosis across semi-permeable membranes

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a high energy carrying molecule in the system of living organisms. It posseses the ability to store and release energy for use by organisms during biochemical activities. However, some processes do not require ATP to occur and are called PASSIVE TRANSPORT while those that require energy (ATP) are called ACTIVE TRANSPORT.

In the above options, the processes listed as follows require ATP to occur:

- The active transport of glucose from the small intestine to the blood

- The movement of the flagella of sperm for motility

- Exocytosis of waste substances across a semi-permeable membrane

However, the diffusion and osmosis across semi-permeable membranes, which is a passive transport does not require ATP.

Cell biologist, Dr. Martine Dinen, is observing an organism's cell using a transmitting electron microscope. She notices that wi
Assoli18 [71]

The cell is most likely prokaryotic because:

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus due to which the DNA are seen throughout the cytoplasm.

Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus. So for eukaryotes, the DNA will be present packed inside the nucleus instead of being dispersed in the cytoplasm.

Prokaryotes can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic depending on their mode of nutrition. Autotrophic prokaryotes can make organic molecules for a carbon dioxide source. On the other hand, heterotrophic prokaryotes can take carbon from organic compounds. Hence, the organism can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

How does a change in frequency or amplitude change the sound we hear?
Marizza181 [45]
Here, Amplitude mainly describes the intensity of sound we hear, They are directly proportional to each other. In other words, If Amplitude of the sound in greater, then you'll hear loud sound, vice-versa.

Frequency is the pitch of a sound. Change in frequency will change the pitch, and particularly for intensity, it doesn't affect loudness of the sound

Hope this helps!
