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.

iragen [17]

Answer: Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species. Gene duplication, mutation, or other processes can produce new genes and alleles and increase genetic variation. New genetic variation can be created within generations in a population, so a population with rapid reproduction rates will probably have high genetic variation. And there are the reasons.

Which taxa are parasitized more by fungi than the others?

timama [110]

Answer:

Plants

Explanation:

Fungi have neither chlorophyll or chloroplasts. They feed on already manufactured food. They parasitize the plants because they have chlorophyll and make their own food. The fungi send haustoria to the roots of the plants where they obtain manufactured food.
