Answer:
The environmental threat posed by the egregious amounts of plastic waste that have accumulated over the years, and that will likely continue to increase unabated.
Answer:
<em>B: The drug is a small charged molecule</em>
Explanation:
Substances can passively diffuse in and out of the cell via the cell membrane in two ways;
- Simple diffusion
- Facilitated diffusion
The cell membrane allows small molecules or ions to freely diffuse across it in response to concentration difference between the inner and outer parts of the cell membrane. This is known as simple diffusion.
In facilitated diffusion, special proteins in the cell membrane, known as channel/carrier proteins binds with molecules and facilitates their diffusion across the cell membrane by carrying them through special channels in the membrane.
Hence, to support the alternative hypothesis that the new drug will exhibit simple diffusion across the plasma membrane, the drug should be a small charged molecule.
<em>Correct option: B</em>
If they remain isolated for a long period of time, the two groups will probably diverge genetically, and may result in speciation.
Genetic divergence is the process whereby two groups of the same ancestral species acquire autonomous genetic changes through time, usually after the groups have been separated reproductively for some period of time.
Speciation is an evolutionary process whereby populations develop to become different species.
