Answer: Electromagnetic waves
Explanation: The main property of the waves is the way how they propagate or travel in medium The waves which can travel without a medium is said to travel in vacuum or air.
Answer:
Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with one another and with their physical environment.
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct order, from fastest to slowest, for the passage of molecules and ions through the cell membrane is oxygen, sodium ions, glucose (option D).
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer, with glycoproteins and membrane proteins, which constitutes a semi-permeable barrier to the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
The speed with which a substance can pass through the membrane depends on its chemical properties -hydrophilic substances pass through with greater difficulty than lipophilic ones- requiring in some cases specialized transport mechanisms. The different rates with which a substance passes depends on this.
- <em>Oxygen (O₂) </em><em>passes through simple diffusion, depending on a concentration gradient. It's the molecule that passes through the membrane the fastest.
</em>
- <em>In second place, there would be the </em><em>Na⁺ ions</em><em> -charged atoms- that cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, through specific ionic channels.
</em>
- <em>The </em><em>glucose</em><em> molecule, being larger, requires the use of transport proteins, being its passage through the membrane slower with respect to oxygen or sodium.</em>
Undoubtedly, molecular weight and affinity for the plasma membrane are determining factors for the passage of molecules through the lipid bilayer.

Autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food for the biosphere.
This term comes from the Greek terms:
Auto- meaning "self" and Troph- meaning "feeding or growth"
So autotroph quite literally means "to feed oneself". Autotrophs, for the most part, use photosynthesis from sunlight to produce their own sugars.
Plants are the primary autotrophs on Earth!
