Osmosis

Osmosis is the name of the process in which water moves into or out of the cell membrane to maintain homeostasis.

Osmosis is the net movement of solvent substances such as water from a region of higher solvent potential to a region of lower solvent potential, through a semi-permeable membrane.  During this process, the movement of solvent stops when the concentration of the two solutions becomes equal (balanced). This type of diffusion is an important process in biological systems because biological membranes are semipermeable.

How do paleontologist learn about evolution ?
DanielleElmas [232]
Paleontologists can identify organisms that may be ancient relatives of those living today. By looking at fossils they can also suggest how these organisms lived together in an ancient habitat. Few organisms become fossilized because the circumstances that an organism has to be in is very specific.

Propose an explanation as to
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The intense and constant activity of insulin synthesis explains why pancreatic beta cells possess more rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes than other cells.

Explanation:

Both ribosomes and the rough endoplasmic reticulum are necessary for protein synthesis to occur. In cells whose function is to produce substances, such as glands, the content of these cellular structures is higher in order to fulfill their function.

The pancreatic beta cells, located in the islets of Langerhans, have the function of synthesizing insulin, an endocrine hormone in charge of regulating the glucose content in the blood. <u>Because the beta cells constantly produce insulin, their content of rugged endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes is high, in order to satisfy the demand for this hormone in the body</u>.
