Ans.

Diffusion, osmosis, and active transport are mechanism of cellular transport that involves movement of molecules through plasma membrane. Diffusion shows movement of small, hydrophobic particles without the help of protein molecules through cell membrane along the concentration gradient.

Osmosis involves movement of water molecules against concentration gradient (from an area of high solvent concentration to an area of low solvent concentration) through cell membrane.

Active transport shows movement of particles, against the concentration gradient, means from a region of higher to lower concentration of molecules through cell membrane. It involves transport through membrane proteins.

Thus, the part of cell, which is affected by the movement of molecules through osmosis, diffusion, and active transport is cell membrane or plasma membrane.

In which areas of the brain would a stroke mimic damage to cranial nerve 2

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The occipital lobe is the area of the brain that a stroke would affect to mimic damage to cranial nerve 2.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Cranial nerve 2 is the optic nerve, responsible for visual information.

This nerve is directly connected to the occipital lobe.

In this case, when a stroke affects the occipital lobe, cranial nerve 2 can be affected and if this happens the optic nerve will have problems.

Optic nerve problems can cause defects in the field of vision, impede central vision, not allow the eyes to focus on a particular element, and have centrocecal or altitudinal problems.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Biologists can grow specific plants to detoxify an area contaminated with heavy-metal pollution using the method of Bioremediation.

To rid an area of mosquitoes, biologists introduced a species of fish into bodies of water that feed on the mosquito larvae. This method is an example of Biological Augmentation.

Explanation:

Bioremediation can be described as a process which uses plants or microorganisms to detoxify contaminants that are present in an area. The enzymes of a plant or animal tend to break down the contaminants and hence, we can make an area rid of contaminants in this way.

Biological augmentation can be described as a method by which organisms such as bacteria are introduced in an area to get rid of wastes.
