Answer:

The external coverings of diatoms are made up silica , while slime molds have cell walls containing cellulose. Diatoms are photoautotrophs because they make food through photosynthesis, while slime molds are heterotrophs.

Explanation:

Diatoms can be described as algae that are mostly single-celled. They are made up of a unique kind of cell wall composed of silica. This cell wall is termed as a frustule. Mostly, diatoms are capable of carrying out photosynthesis and hence make their own food.

Slime moulds can be described as organisms that are fungus-like protists. They are not capable of producing their own food and feed on other plants. Hence, they are heterotrophs.

Which of the following transport mechanisms will be affected most directly by a temporary shortage of ATP molecules inside the c

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

ATP is usually used in processes and biochemical reactions in the body that would not occur spontaneously hence require energy to proceed them forward.

Explanation:

One such process is the transport of molecules against the concentration gradient. This is akin to climbing a hill. The channels that carry the molecule against concentration gradient require energy in carrying the molecule from the low concentration outside the cell to high concentration inside the cell. This is called active transport. Facilitated diffusion use membrane channels too, but no ATP energy is consumed because the molecules are moving down concentration gradient.

BabaBlast [244]

A heart cell taken from a rat and placed in Flask A with a nutrient-rich culture medium produced heart cells after 24 hours.

A kidney cell taken from the same rate placed in Flask B with a similar nutrient-rich culture medium produced kidney cells after 24 hours.

The best explanation is:
