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.

Why would cells die if they were unable to make (or otherwise obtain) the amino acid arginine?

kumpel [21]

Answer: Arginine is an amino acid that is incorporated into proteins. So if cells can not make or obtain arginine, the cell can not make proteins needed for survival.

Explanation:

Arginine is an amino acid used to build proteins, and it is classified as a semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid.

Proteins are large molecules consisting of long chains of amino acids. They perform many functions such as catalysing metabolic reactions, providing structure to cells and organisms, and transporting molecules, among many others.

Most notably, arginine is part of proteins that play an important role in many different processes such as cell division, immune function, wound healing and the release of hormones. Without this amino acid, the cell cannot manufacture the proteins necessary for proper functioning. So the cell dies because it cannot function properly.

Why must a cell that needs to divide follow the sequence of the events of the cell cycle (G1-S-G2-M-C)?

lakkis [162]

C) the phases are there for the cell to grow and mature properly ( much like a human) - if they don’t grow properly they won’t be able to reproduce.
