 <span>They are both a form of passive transport, meaning that no cellular energy is required for the processes to take place. 
They both involve the movement of materials from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. 
The main difference is one of definition. When WATER is diffusing from one place to another, like across a membrane, the process is called OSMOSIS. The movement of any other substance is just called DIFFUSION.

HIV can remain latent for several years and not cause any symptoms in its host. What viral reproduction cycle is occurring durin
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The lytic cycle.

Explanation:

<u>HIV is a retrovirus</u> that has a special enzyme called transcriptase reverse, which can synthesize DNA using RNA as a template. This replication system is particularly useful for the virus because the DNA synthesized from the RNA viral genome can be then integrated into the human chromosomes and stay inactive for years. This is called a lysogenic cycle and is characterized by a latency of the virus and an integration to the host DNA.

When there is a triggering event, <u>this latent virus can be excised from the human chromosome and start producing copies of itself using the host machinery.</u> <u>Then the virions are assembled and after that they lyse the host cell and release new infective units that can then infect neighboring cells. </u>This is called the lytic cycle of the virus and is the reproduction cycle that occurs when a person moves into the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) stage of HIV infection.

What enzyme deficiency in RBC leads to hemolytic anemia due to oxidative stress? ​
natka813 [3]

In some cases, massive destruction of red blood cells caused death. This drug-induced hemolytic anemia was shown 30 years later to be caused by a deficiency of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the enzyme catalyzing the first step in the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway.

in short terms, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
