<span>Tonicity is the measure or amount of the osmotic pressure gradient. 
Osmotic pressure is defined as the amount of external pressure that is required to stop the net movement of the solution across the semi permeable membrane. In terms of biology, osmosis has great importance as most of the membranes in our body are semi permeable. Permeability depends on several factors such as charge, solubility, solute size and chemistry. Osmosis is the process that provides the primary means through which water travels in and out of the cells.</span>

Por que o nosso nariz fica entupido quando estamos resfriados?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

why does our nose get stuffy when we have a cold

Answer:

Due to dilation of blood vessels in the sinuses of the nose

Explanation:

Often times, we think our nose gets stuffed up due to the excess mucus in times of cold but it is not always so.

We get stuffed due to the body's homeostasis, a drive to internally control and balance the outside environment.

  • During cold, blood vessels dilate so as to allow for more inflow of blood.
  • Incoming blood brings in more heat to the body parts.

Species change over time. -The mechanism that produces the change is natural selection: the differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on variation in their traits. Natural selection acts on individuals but individuals do not evolve; their descendants do.
