what is defined as the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from high concentration to low concentration?
Oliga [24]
<span>Osmosis is defined as the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from high concentration to low concentration. This occurs when the surrounding environment of the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell itself. Osmosis is important in animal cells because it helps in the distribution of nutrients and the release of metabolic waste products. In plant cells, osmosis is responsible for the absorption of water from the soil and the elevation of the liquid into other parts of the plants.</span>

What is the basic mechanism by which air travels to the alveoli for gas​ exchange? emt?
Anestetic [448]
The Major function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygen enters the lungs and reaches the alveoli, the layers of the cells lining the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries are each only one cell thick and are in very close contact with each other, the barrier between air and blood averages about 1 micron in thickness. Oxygen diffuses quickly through the air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.
