Answer:

A. Osmosis occurs through a semipermeable membrane. Diffusion occurs through a permeable membrane.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the transport of membrane permeable substances. These, in solution, can flow from the inside out of the cell or vice versa spontaneously. This process occurs from a region with higher particle concentration to one with lower concentrations. Gas exchange between blood and tissues is an example of this type of transport.

On the other hand, osmosis is a process of diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane and occurs from the less concentrated to the most concentrated solution. This process is a type of passive transport because during osmosis the cell does not waste energy.

Based on this, we can say that what makes osmosis different from diffusion is that osmosis occurs through a semipermeable membrane, whereas diffusion occurs through a permeable membrane.

Some proteins do indeed need assistance during the folding process. the general term used for the proteins that help other proteins fold is Chaperones.

<h3>What are Chaperones?</h3>
  • Chaperones are proteins that help big proteins or macromolecular protein complexes fold or unfold conformationally. There are different groups of molecular chaperones, all of which have the same purpose: to help big proteins fold properly during or after synthesis as well as following partial denaturation.
  • Protein translocation for proteolysis involves chaperones as well. The bulk of molecular chaperones aid in protein folding by binding to and stabilizing folding intermediates up until the polypeptide chain is entirely translated, rather than providing any steric information for protein folding.
  • Based on their target proteins and location, chaperones have different unique modes of operation.

It is all of them. To be alive we all kind of have to have a face or body, we all need cells to help us with our day to day activities and we all need to communicate with other humans so that would be social behavior.
