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.

How does the process of ridge push cause the formation of new oceans?

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Explanation and answer below

Explanation:

Ridge push causes a rift valley; as the plates move apart, a new ocean basin forms, filling with water and eventually becoming a mature ocean. Ridge push causes a convergent plate boundary; as the plates move together, new islands form, which “trap” water between them, causing an ocean to form.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Disorders are present below.

Explanation:

Degradation of nucleic acids causes Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and mitochondrial depletion syndromes in human body, degradation of proteins causes phenylketonuria and tyrosinemia diseases in humans, degradation of lipids causes Gaucher disease and Tay-Sachs disease. Due to these diseases of lipids, we have not enough enzymes to break down lipids, degradation of carbohydrates leads to diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma and hypoglycemia, and degradation of vitamins causes anemia and scurvy diseases in the body.
