The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to ____.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The answer is Facilitated Diffusion

Explanation:

Osmosis is most similar to facilitated diffusion.

Osmosis can be defined as : Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, down a concentration gradient from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated solution.

Facilitated diffusion is defined as: Facilitated diffusion is the flow of molecules requiring the aid of a protein, across a membrane, down a concentration gradient  from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.

• How did your experimental absolute zero value compare to the accepted value?
Murrr4er [49]

The experimental absolute zero value is less when compared to the accepted value of absolute zero.

<h3>What is absolute zero?</h3>

Absolute zero is defined as the temperature in which the lowest energy possible is attained in a thermodynamic system.

Absolute zero temperature has an accepted values of 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.

At absolute zero, it is assumed that the volume of an ideal gas becomes zero. However, it has not been possible to cool any gas to absolute zero.

Based on the graph of temperature against volume of gases, the experimental absolute zero extrapolated from the graph where volume of the gases becomes zero is -285 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, the experimental absolute zero value is less when compared to the accepted value.

Write balanced equations for the following reactions
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The shorthand nuclear reaction equations have been given; the first particle in the parentheses is a reactant particle while the second particle is a product particle. These can now be rewritten as the longhand equations as follows;

238/92U + 4/2 He -------> 241/94Pu + 1/0 n

238/92U + 4/2 He ------> 241/94Pu + 1/0 n

14/7N + 4/2 He------> 17/8O + 1/1 p

56/26Fe + 2 4/2 He----> 60/29Cu + 4/2 He
