The net movements of molecules of gasses and particles from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration based on diffusion gradients without a separating medium is called Diffusion.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from the region from a region of higher water potential to that of lower water potential across a separating medium of semipermeable membrane.
Because of exposure of the lettuce to sunlight, there is rapid diffusion of water molecules from the cells of the lettuce on the sunny day than into the cells from the environment. Because the turgor pressure has dropped to zero, so water molecules diffuse from the region of higher water potential (the cells of the lettuce) to region of lower (sounding air). This results to shrinking of the cells, called witting.
However, as she waters the lettuce, water molecules diffuses into the cell and move up the cells through osmosis, the water molecules makes the lettuce cells turgid. The turgor pressure has returned to normal . This explains the firmness.
Water diffuses into the vacuole which has capacity to store water. The presence of water increases vacuole's volume which expands through osmosis, and therefore changes it shape. The changes in shape leads to firmness.
Ms. Milly can keep the stalk of the lettuce in flower pot filled with water. The continues to keep the cells of the lettuce turgid, by replacing the lost water through diffusion into the sunny environment to prevent wilting,

Answer:
B. Carbohydrates provide energy for living things.
Explanation:
Answer:
c) repeat the cell cycle continuously
Explanation:
Cell division is a normal phenomenon for all cells as this is the way the cell reproduces and gets repaired in living organisms. However, some cells, due to mutation, keeps dividing and proliferating to form tumours. These cells are called CANCER cells. A normal cell undergoes cellular repair at certain checkpoints of the cell cycle. The checkpoints are necessary to determine a faulty cell and stop its division.
However, cancerous cells do not undergo any repair, which is why they do not enter the G0 phase as mentioned in the question. They keep on dividing out of control without death by repeating the cell cycle continuously.
