PLEASE HELP ASAP IN A RUSH!!!!What do osmosis and diffusion have in common? A. Both are the net movement of randomly moving mole

cules that makes concentration nearty equal on both sides of a bilayer membrane. B. Both processes occur through a semipermeable membrane called a concentration gradient C. Both require the additional energy provided by an energy-carrying molecule, like ATP, to allow molecules to pass through the membrane. D. Both permit molecules of any kind, whether solute or solvent, to cross the bilayer membrane.

The right answer is A.

Osmosis is a phenomenon that considers only the exchanges between two liquid solutions of different concentrations in liquid phases separated by a semi-permeable wall. Osmosis is a phenomenon of diffusion of matter, demonstrated when solvent molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions whose solute concentrations are different; the overall transfer of solvent is then from the least concentrated solution (hypotonic medium) to the most concentrated solution (hypertonic medium) to equilibrium (isotonic media).

The diffusion of matter, or chemical diffusion, refers to the natural tendency of a system to render uniform the chemical potential of each of the chemical species it contains.

Chemical diffusion is an irreversible transport phenomenon that tends to homogenize the composition of the medium.

During diffusion, when the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same, the molecules will stop moving across the membrane

Further Explanation:

The transport of molecules can either be active or passive transport. Passive transport refers to the movement of the ions or other molecules across the membrane without any input of the energy.

Passive transport can be of 3 types:

  • Simple diffusion
  • Facilitated diffusion
  • Osmosis

The process of diffusion is movement of a molecule or substance from higher concentration of an area to lower concentration area. Mostly diffusion occurs in gases and liquid. This process is very important for living things. The concentration gradient is referred as difference in the concentration of substance. The process of Diffusion cease when the concentration of molecule or substance is equal in both region.

Osmosis refers to the spontaneous movement of the solvent particles via a semi-permeable membrane from a lower to the higher region of concentration, in the direction which tends to maintain equilibrium onto both sides.  

For a cell to live, the ion concentrations outside and inside the cell should be same. Also, the water content is limited because higher concentration of water can burst and swell the cell. Osmosis is crucial in the biological systems as the membranes are semi permeable. Also, focus on maintaining the equilibrium on both sides and prevent bursting of the cell.

Similarity between both the processes is that they allow the movement of solution or gases from high to low concentration. The concentration gradient acts in both processes to maintain equilibrium.

Answer:

The prevailing wind direction is West, even though natural wind direction is East. The West winds prevail because they are much stronger. The way this works is that the San Francisco Bay water is a constant cool temperature (around 50-60 degrees).
