Identify all of the true statements:

A concentration gradient is the difference between
two concentrations

Active transport allows cells to transport molecules
against a concentration gradient

Diffusion results in a net overall movement from a low
concentration to a high concentration

In diffusion particles are moving around randomly in
all directions

Osmosis requires energy from respiration to be carried
out

Partially permeable membranes allow any molecules
to pass through them

Explanation:

a) True. The bigger the difference, the steeper the concentration gradient and the faster the molecules of a substance will diffuse.

b) True. Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this.

c) False. Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area where they are at a higher concentration to areas where they are at a lower concentration.

d) True. For diffusion to work, the particles must be able to move around.

e) True. Osmosis requires energy from respiration to be carried

out.

f) False. Partially permeable membranes allow  only water but not other dissolved substances to pass through.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
