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.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

c. reabsorbing hydrogen

Explanation:

In this scenario, the individual's kidneys will do all of the following except for reabsorbing hyrdogen. This is because, in a scenario like this where the body pH levels decline the kidneys begin to secrete hydrogen, they do not reabsorb it. It is this process of acid elimination that ultimately causes the body's pH levels to begin rising and restoring themselves to normal. Therefore the answer to this question is c.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

c. Proteins and lipids are made on the ER membrane and put in vesicles.

a. Vesicles containing proteins and lipids fuse with the Golgi bodies.

d. The Golgi bodies tag the molecules to signal their ultimate delivery.

b. Vesicles pinched off from the cristernae carry the molecule to its location.

Explanation:

Proteins are made by the ribosome machinery of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The proteins made need to be packaged before they are sent outside the cell to their location. If the proteins are not packaged and tagged, then they will be degraded by different enzymes present in the cell. So, the packaging of the proteins is done by the Golgi-complex. After packaging is done and tags are added to the proteins, the proteins move to the outside of the cell in vesicles.

Evaluate and discuss the importance of maintaining biodiversity for future medical needs
vivado [14]
Biodiversity is essential in medicine as most active chemicals used to make medicines are derived from plants or other organisms. Climate change today threatens species that are vital to medicine. An example would be coral reefs. Studies have been done on reefs that look at fighting cancers, HIV and other ailments. One of the richest zones of biodiversity is the tropics and this region is under threat from global warming and deforestation. It is important to preserve these species for use in future medicinal research. <span />
