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.

What purpose does a fish ladder serve?
Whitepunk [10]

<u>Answer</u>: Option A

<u>Explanation</u> :

  • A<em> fish ladder</em> is also known as fish steps, fish pass or fishway.
  • It is built around waterfalls, dams and locks.
  • The purpose of building a fish ladder is to<em> facilitate the natural migration of diadromous fishes.</em>
  • A fish ladder helps the fish to pass through the barriers by leaping up or swimming through the low steps of the ladder and reach into the water on the other side.
  • Since, without the fish ladder the barriers will not allow the migration of fishes, it is essential to be built around the dams, waterfalls and locks.

Why do we want to turn genes off or on?
Dmitrij [34]

The process of turning off and on of genes is known as gene regulation.

Explanation:

When the gene is turned on, it instructs the cells to construct a particular protein. The proteins are the molecules that build your body with collagen, tendons, and bones or keratin in your hair.

The gene regulatory proteins allow the individual genes of an organism to be turned on or off . in different cell types there are different selections of gene regulatory proteins. The patterns of the gene expression gives each cell its unique characteristics.

Each cell produces or turns on only a fraction of its genes. the remaining genes are repressed or turned off. this process is known as gene regulation. The signals from the environment or from other cells activate proteins called transcription factors.
