Answer:

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to low particle concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis refers to the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. The movement always occurs from the region of higher concentration of water to that of lower concentration. Osmosis does not include the movement of solutes.

Diffusion is the movement of substances from higher to lower concentration region. Diffusion is not restricted to movement of water only.

Viruses _____.

Montano1993 [528]

viruses are tiny bundles of genetic material which is carried in a viral coat.

Explanation:

The virus is generally a parasite that needs a host to become active and to reproduce. It cannot reproduce without the host.
The tiny bundle consists of genetic material and protein. The virus consists of capsid and nucleic acid. This capsid is said to be the protein coat.
This capsid consists of either RNA or DNA. virus replicate themself within the host body by using its genetic material along with the mechanism of the host.
Thus after replicating the virus need to get out of host cell, It is performed by two types budding or lysis( bursting the host cell ).

How do the structures of the fruiting body and hyphase relate to their function

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Fungi is a unique living organism and it is not considered plant or animal and forms its own kingdom Fungus. On of the most unique features of a Fungi is that its body is composed of thread like structure called Hyphae and produce fruiting bodies, in which spores are formed are help the fungus in reproduction.

Coming towards the question that what is the unique feature of the structure of Hyphae and fruiting body that helps them in their function.

1: Hyphae:

Hyphae are composed of thread like structures called Hypha that are filamentous in nature. Due to its filamentous nature, it helps the fungi to better absorb nutrients from soil and anchor the fungus well in soil.

2: Fruiting body:

The fruiting body is main organ of fungi concerned with reproduction. It has rounded cap like structure in which spores are formed and are disseminated from one place to another and help fungi in reproduction.

Hope it helps!
