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.

How can using a dam as a source of freshwater also harm agricultural resources?
Snezhnost [94]

The dam acts as a barrier between upstream and downstream.  Dams are also built for irrigation, but it is also deliberately destroyed in favor of irrigated farming. Though it provides freshwater, and makes people be protected by droughts, but it can also damage the agricultural resources by limiting the water in some areas.

Develop a hypothesis to explain why you think eurypterids developed legs even though they lived on the ocean floor.
expeople1 [14]

I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.
