<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>

In what way do the nervous and endocrine systems differ in a way
Simora [160]

The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses and the communication is very fast. It works in a relay fashion, from point to point comparable to the way the old telephones systems used to work.

The endocrine system communicates by chemical signals via the bloodstream. Hormones are secreted into the blood and extra cellular fluids, then transported to target cells, which must bear a receptor to be able to bind to a specific hormone, and respond. 

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid that affect the function of other cells.

Endocrine communication is not quite as fast as the nervous system communication

A farmer crossed a yellow maize plant (Yy) with another yellow maize plant (YY). He planted 200 seeds from this cross. How many
Vladimir [108]

Answer: 200 seeds will be yellow.

Explanation: In this crossing, one parent will produce half of its gametes carrying allele Y and the other half carrying allele y. The other parent will have gametes with allele Y. After fecundation, the offspring could phenotype YY or phenotype Yy.

In genetics, Y is related to the dominant allele and y to the recessive one. In this case, having the Y dominant allele determine the color yellow. Therefore, as all of the offspring has the dominant allele Y for yellow, all of the seeds will be yellow, i.e., <u>200 seeds will be yellow</u>.

How does organization play a role in homeostasis
Mashutka [201]
Organization is important because the structure denotes the function in biology, therefore organization in this case means that it has a high relevance for homeostasis. If something is not organized, it's not in homeostasis, it's as simple as that.
