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 is happening in this image? How does it help illustrate the concept of natural selection?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

In this image the bird is eating an insect off of a leaf that is easy to see whereas the insect on the other leaf is camouflaged and still alive. This helps illustrate the concept of natural selection because the camouflage insect is able to survive longer and therefore reproduce more.

What would a biochemist call the result of chaining many molecules together

The structure of a typical antibody molecule

Antibodies are the secreted form of the B-cell receptor. An antibody is identical to the B-cell receptor of the cell that secretes it except for a small portion of the C-terminus of the heavy-chain constant region. In the case of the B-cell receptor the C-terminus is a hydrophobic membrane-anchoring sequence, and in the case of antibody it is a hydrophilic sequence that allows secretion. Since they are soluble, and secreted in large quantities, antibodies are easily obtainable and easily studied. For this reason, most of what we know about the B-cell receptor comes from the study of antibodies.

Antibody molecules are roughly Y-shaped molecules consisting of three equal-sized portions, loosely connected by a flexible tether. Three schematic representations of antibody structure, which has been determined by X-ray crystallography, are shown in Fig. 3.1. The aim of this part of the chapter is to explain how this structure is formed and how it allows antibody molecules to carry out their dual tasks—binding on the one hand to a wide variety of antigens, and on the other hand to a limited number of effector molecules and cells. As we will see, each of these tasks is carried out by separable parts of the molecule. The two arms of the Y end in regions that vary between different antibody molecules, the V regions. These are involved in antigen binding, whereas the stem of the Y, or the C region, is far less variable and is the part that interacts with effector cells and molecules.
