Answer:

Primary succession is one of two types of biological and ecological succession of plant life, occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and other organisms usually lack soil.

Secondary succession is one of the two types of ecological succession of a plant's life. It is the process started by an event (e.g. forest fire, harvesting, hurricane, etc.) that reduces an already established ecosystem (e.g. a forest or a wheat field) to a smaller population of species, and as such secondary succession occurs on preexisting soil whereas primary succession usually occurs in a place lacking soil.

Explanation:

Primary succession takes time for completion around 1000 years, whereas secondary succession area takes 200 years for completion. In primary succession, there is a lack of soil and humus for the sustaining of life whereas, in secondary succession, soil and humus are present with some organisms.

A Secondary succession can take a few hundred years.

What is diffusion? Include in your explanation "area of high concentration" and "area of low concentration". Does diffusion occu
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Diffusion is the process of small molecules moving from a high concentrated area to a lower concentrated area. For example, in a crowded train station, when a train arrives, people move from the high concentrated area, which is the platform, and move onto the lower concentrated area, which is the trian.

Explanation:

The process of diffusion does not cost any energy, as it happens naturally, and would cost energy to go against it, like trying to go from the train into the platform costs more energy than just going with the crowd into the train. And only small molecules can do this without using energy. Large molecules, like starch, can't do this without using energy.(ATP) hopefully, this helped you, and it would mean a lot to me if you could give me brainliest!

beks73 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-gas absent in primordial atmosphere (oxygen).

Explanation:

The Miller experiment was performed in 1953 to show that organic molecules can be formed from the inorganic molecules in the conditions resembling the primordial atmosphere.

Same conditions were created to the unstable atmosphere like a mixture of gases which included- methane, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen but lacked oxygen as it was absent in the primordial atmosphere.

Thus, gas absent in the primordial atmosphere (oxygen) is the correct answer.
