Why do living things depend on diffusion?

Biology
1 answer:
mylen [45]4 years ago
8 0
Living organisms obtain many of their requirements by diffusion. They also get rid of many of waste materials in this way. For example, Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. This diffuses from the air into the leaves through the stomata. It does this because there is a lower concentration of carbon dioxide inside the leaf as the cells are using it up. Outside the leaf in the air, there is a higher concentration. Carbon dioxide molecules therefore diffuse into the leaf down this concentration gradient :)
I hope u understood!

Sodium has the atomic number 11. How many electrons are in a sodium ion, which has the symbol Na=?
AlladinOne [14]
Atomic number is the number of protons of an atom. And, given that the atoms are electrically neutral and the charge of one proton is equal to the charge of one electron, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So the neutral atom of sodium has 11 protons and 11 electrons. But, the sodium ion (Na+) has one positive charge, that means that it has lost one negative charge or one electron. Then, the sodium ion (Na+) has 11 - 1 = 10 electrons. <span>Then, the answer is that there are 10 electrons in a sodium ion. 

hope this helps :3</span>

some scientists predict that if global warming continues over the next few centuries, melting of the polar ice caps will rise th
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

As global warming causes more snow and ice to melt each summer, the ocean and land that were underneath the ice are exposed at the Earth's surface. Because they are darker in color, the ocean and land absorb more incoming solar radiation, and then release the heat to the atmosphere.

How many moles of MgCI2 are there in 310 g of the compound? This question is not multiple choice. I have two blank boxes to put
pantera1 [17]
Number of Moles are calculate by using following formula,

                                        Moles  =  Mass / M.mass     --- (1)

M.mass is calculated by adding the atomic masses of all elements present in molecule, Since, MgCl₂ contains one Mg (atomic mass = 24.3 g/mol) and two Cl atoms (atomic mass = 35.45 × 2 = 70.9 g/mol), So,

                            Molar mass = 24.3 g/mol  +  70.9 g/mol

                            Molar Mass of MgCl₂ = 95.2 g/mol

Now, putting values in eq. 1,

                                        Moles  = 310 g ÷ 95.2 g/mol

                                        Moles  = 3.256 moles
