You learned that absolute time is associated with a period of time in minutes or hours or days. List two examples of absolute time in a geologic scale.

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
