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.

B. Net movement in osmosis is from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Net movement in diffusion occurs from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.

Complete hydrolysis of a nonapeptide gave 3 ala, 2 phe, 2 asp, gly, and ser. Reaction of the nonapeptide with Sanger's reagent (

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Alanine is obtained as the first amino acid, taking into account that the reaction with the Sanger reagent hydrolyzes N- (2,4-dinitrophenyl) alanine. thus with the fragments of the partial hydrolysis they are organized to create a polypetidic chain

ala-asp-gly-ala

gly-ala-phe

phe-be-wing

be-wing-phe-asp

We obtain that the correct sequence of the peptide is "ala-asp-gly-ala-phe-ser-ala-phe-asp"
