8 0

Answer:

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Osmosis is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in a liquid through a semi-permeable membrane.

They are similar because they are both the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

They are contrasting because osmosis includes a liquid and a semi-permeable membrane.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

D) presence of transcription activators or repressors

Explanation:

The reason why this is not post-transcriptional regulation is that activators actually start the process of transcription by binding to specific sites. while on contrary when repressor binds it halt the process.

For example, there is a protein called CAP which in the presence of cAMP bind with promoter region and enhances the activity of RNA polymerase . While in the absence of cAMP it can not bind to promoter hence the transcription stooped.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

a. parasitism:

The parasite benefits by harming the host e.g hookworms and humans

b. commensalism

In this association, one species benefits while the other is unaffected (its not harm and dies not benefit) e.g. epiphytic orchids and trees

c. mutualism

Here, both species benefit as seen in rumen bacteria and cows

Explanation:

Parasitism = +/- relationship

The predator benefits by harming the host. E.g. hookworms and humans. The hookworm (parasite) eat man blood while man (host) loses blood to it.

Commensalism = +/0 relationship

One specie(s) benefits while the other specie(s) neither benefits nor is harmed. E.g. epiphytic orchids live on tree branches or tree trunks as it's habitat or shelter while the trees neither benefits nor is harmed

Mutualism = +/+ relationship

Both organisms benefit in this relationship. E.g. rumen microbes aids grass digestion in cows, while the microbes benefit as it obtain steady food or nutrient from the cow
