<span>Factors that can increase mutation rates are high and low temperatures, food additives, and UV rays. All of these answers are correct. Mutation rates in genes vary depending on many environmental effects. UV rays, along with varying temperatures, can cause mutations during cell division due to the damage they impart on the cells that are dividing. Dangerous food additives are believed to cause mutations, as seen in animal studies (ie. aspartame causing cancer in rats).</span>
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.Osmosis can be made to do work.
Osmotic pressure is defined as the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane.
Glucose and oxygen play the role of the reactants in cellular respiration. We breathe in oxygen and our bodies use glucose (sugar) to make energy. Energy is then stored as ATP and CO2.
