Dissusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration until equilibrium is reached, while osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"What is the correct description of the relationship between osmosis and diffusion?  a.diffusion is a type of osmosis that occurs across a cell membrane.  b.osmosis is a type of diffusion that occurs across a cell membrane.  c.osmosis is a type of diffusion that requires energy on the part of the cell, whereas diffusion happens freely.  d.osmosis is not directly related to diffusion. osmosis involves the movement of liquids. diffusion involves movement of gases."

Answer:

a. diffusion is a type of osmosis that occurs across a cell membrane.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of the solvent (water) through a semipermeable membrane from the least concentrated medium to the most concentrated medium, in order to equalize the concentrations on both sides. Diffusion, in turn, is a physical process in which substances (solute) are transported from a more concentrated region to a less concentrated one (in favor of the concentration gradient) in a random and spontaneous manner. In this case, we can say that diffusion is a type of osmosis, however, it transports different things through the membrane. In osmosis, the transport is of liquid things, in the diffusion the transport is of solid things.

Difference between paw paw and tomato​
choli [55]

Answer:

❥ Ripe pawpaws give off a wonderful fruity aroma. If the pawpaw does change color, it will likely turn a lighter shade of green, possibly with some yellowing. A more reliable indicator is feeling. The fruit will begin to feel softer, much as a peach or avocado.

❥ Your ripe tomato will give slightly to the touch. It shouldn't be soft but rather a little tender. Because tomatoes ripen from the inside out, this is a good indicator that it's ready.

Which statement represents a fact about the rock cycle?
GuDViN [60]

The answer is : The rock cycle is driven by energy from the Sun as well as from the interior of Earth. The sun provides energy for surface processes such as weathering, erosion, and transport. This is the one of the major source of energy for the rock cycle. Weathering happens when there is a interaction with the air, water and organism which cause the rock to break down, and the pieces of rock are carried away by wind, moving water, etc. through erosion.

Answer:

Explanation:

Transcription and translation The information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus during the transcription process. During protein synthesis, translation is the process of converting the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids. The genetic code describes the relationship between the base pair sequence in a gene and the amino acid sequence that it encodes.
