Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is A) Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.</em></u>

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion can be described as the type of diffusion which occurs with the help of other molecules. For example, when integral proteins help in the transport of a molecule through the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport as it allows molecules to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration along a concentration gradient.

Active transport is the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient from an area of lower concentration to the area of higher concentration and hence, require energy.

Answer:

The proper matching is given below.

Explanation:

Predation   Typical plant defence include(thorns,sticky substances) and chemicals(toxin,bad tastingchemicals) adaptation.

Competition  When individuals fight for a common resource,the weaker one experience loss or affected adversely.

Disease       pathogens can be transmitted to host by direct contact between hosts o through soil,water,air or any other surface.

Symbiosis    This interaction is of three types : mutalism,Commensalism and parasitism.

Drag labels at left into the appropriate targets on the right to complete this concept map about oxidative phosphorylation

*The key function of each of the two photosystems is to absorb light and convert the energy of the absorbed light into redox energy, which drives electron transport.

In PS II (the first photosystem in the sequence), P680 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes water), and the PS II primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

In PS I, the PS I primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces other compounds that ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH), and P700 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes the electron transport chain between the photosystems).
