Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process of the movement of solute particles on the basis of the concentration gradient.

During homeostasis or the process of maintaining the internal environment of the body, the nutrients which could be the molecules or ions move from the region of high concentration or amount to a region of their low concentration through the cell membrane.

The concentration of calcium inside the cells during homeostasis is maintained by the diffusion of the calcium ions. Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Hello there!

I believe "b. Nutrients move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration." is correct!

Why doesn’t alcohol freeze?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Because it's a combination of chemicals, vodka doesn't freeze at the same temperature as either water or alcohol. Of course, vodka will freeze, but not at the temperature of an ordinary freezer. This is because vodka contains enough alcohol to lower the freezing point of water below the -17°C of your typical freezer.

Answer:

The answer is " $= 0.078 \ kg \ H_2$ ".

Explanation:

calculating the moles in $CH_4 =\frac{PV}{RT}$

$=\frac{(0.58 \ atm) \times (923 \ L) }{ (0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{K \cdot mol})(232^{\circ} C +273)}\\\\=\frac{(535.34 \ atm \cdot \ L) }{ (0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{K \cdot mol})(505)K}\\\\=\frac{(535.34 \ atm \cdot \ L) }{ (41.4605 \frac{L \cdot atm}{mol})}\\\\= 12.9 \ mol$
