water?
Biology

Because though there is a lot of available water, an ever shrinking 3% is freshwater, which comes from groundwater and streams. The ocean is salinated and in order for it to be fit to be used by humans for domestic needs or for drinking, it needs to undergo a huge desalination process which costs lots of money and time.

Cells a and b are the same size and shape, but cell a is metabolically quiet and cell b is actively consuming oxygen. Oxygen wil
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The two cells of the similar shape, and size have different levels of the ongoing metabolic activity. On one hand, the cell a is metabolically quiet, which means that no energy consuming chemical reactions are taking place in this cell. On the other hand, the cell b is actively consuming the surrounding oxygen. In this scenario, the oxygen will more quickly diffuse into the cell b because the diffusion gradient for oxygen in this cell is steeper than in the cell a.

Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'b and the diffusion gradient is steeper' respectively.
