According to the article, "Some scientists also object, on principle, to use of the heavily freighted term culture, which long h

as been denoted something peculiarly human". Why do you think some scientists object to using the term "culture" to describe primate behaviour?

Scientists are reluctant to use the word culture to refer to primate behavior because it has not been determined if this behavior can be classified as human or is human-like.

<h3>What is culture?</h3>

Culture is a word to describe the beliefs, practices, etc. of human groups. Due to this, culture is often used in areas such as sociology but not in biology as most scientists believe this term is used exclusively for human groups.

<h3>Why are scientists reluctant to use this term?</h3>

Scientists' research has determined some organisms such as primates display very similar behaviors to humans. Despite this, some scientists do not feel it is accurate to describe these behaviors as culture.

This occurs because:

  • There are biological and behavioral differences between these primates and humans.
  • Culture has been traditionally used to describe human communities not other animals communities.
  • Using culture might imply other primates are equal to humans.

Note: This question is incomplete because the article is not given; due to this, I answered it based on general knowledge.

When roots take up mineral ions, they are built up against their concentration gradient. both anion and cation transport utilize
attashe74 [19]
I believe the answer is B, primary active transport. Root hair cells in plant use active transport to absorb mineral ions such as nitrates from the soil. The concentrations of minerals in the soil are lower in the soil than in within the root hair cell, therefore the transport will be against the concentration gradient which does not favor diffusion, therefore the pant has to use active transport.
