Water.

osmosis always refers to the diffusion of WATER down a concentration gradient.

diffusion can be applied to any substance;
osmosis only applies to the diffusion of water.

in the situation described, osmosis occurs by water diffusing out of the plant, down the diffusion gradient (because the salt water effectively has a lower concentration of water than in the plant) and into the salt water.

Explain (1) what type of variation is always required for natural selection and (2) where this variation comes from?
larisa86 [58]

When we talk about evolution we come across the process of natural selection. Genetic variation is always required for the natural selection. A change or variation in the genes may help the individuals in a population to better adapt to the environment. Such changes may be brought by mutations or random mating in the population. Such variations help in the survival of the population by allowing them to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
