It would be the second one where osmosis is the movement of water from high to low and diffusion is the movement of particles from high to low
cupoosta [38]3 years ago

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.

What types of specimens were you able to view under each of the microscopes in the microscope activity? How did the specimen vie
Lana71 [14]

Under the dissecting microscope I was able to view the surfaces of specimens such as a feather, insect, and leaf.

Under the compound microscope I was able to view a leaf, blood, and algae. I was able to observe the surface of the specimens in greater detail then I was able to view the surfaces under the dissecting microscope. For an example under the compound light microscope I was able to view the leaves surface which contained multiple lines that intertwined into each other and rectangular chambers of green dots. But under the dissecting microscope I was only able to view the surface of the leaf which consisted of thin white cracks in the leaf.

Under the scanning electron I was able to view the internal structure of the following specimens: a leaf, blood, and algae.  

Under the transmission electron I was able to view a more in depth internal structure of the following specimens:a leaf, blood, and algae. I was able to observe the intern

al structures of the specimens in greater detail then I was able to view the internal structures under the scanning microscope. For an example under the TEM I was able to study the internal structure of a leaf which consisted of long thick and thin black and gray lines coated with black rectangles and tiny dots littering he perimeter of what looks to be the internal structure of the leaf. But with the SEM I was only able to view the first layer of the leaf's internal structure which consisted of mushroom like figures surrounded be compound and single molecules.
