In carrying out normal activities, cells use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. the concentration of oxygen is higher in the blood than inside the cell, so oxygen moves into the cell. similarly, carbon dioxide moves out of the cell into the blood because the concentration of carbon dioxide inside the cell is greater than the concentration outside the cell. how are the small molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide moving through the cell membrane? a. passive transport by diffusion b. active transport by endocytosis c. passive transport by osmosis d. active transport by carrier proteins

option a - passive transport by diffusion

explanation

carbon dioxide moves out of the cell into the blood because the concentration of carbon dioxide inside the cell is greater than the concentration outside the cell. the small molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide move through the cell membrane by passive transport by diffusion. the transfer of particles beyond a membrane without the input of energy is known as passive transport. diffusion is the diffusion of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration across the cell membrane.

wild parsnip is a perennial plant which reproduces rapidly in areas which have no sign of agricultural activity such roadside or at no tillage open areas. it's considered invasive because it can inhibit the growth of another plant  and its reproduction is fast. there are several harmful effects of this invasive plant although its taproot is edible since it is a member of the carrot family. wild parsnips can cause skin blistering when in contact because of the chemicals it contains, second it inhibits the growth of other plants, it will restrict the growth of animals when eaten and lastly, it drives away natural pollinators like bees.
