Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is osmosis.

Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent (like water) from a region where the concentration of solute is lower to a region where the concentration of solute is higher though a semipermeable membrane.

In other words, it is the water movement from an area where its ( water ) concentration is higher to an area where its concentration is lower.

This process does not require any energy as water is moving along the concentration gradient.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

There are certain types of proteins that need to be sinthesized in the rough ERC in order to reach its final destination. These proteins are:

- Proteins that need to be exported from the cell.

- Proteins that need to be docked to either endomembranes or the plasma membrane.

- Hydrolytic lysosomal enzimes.

- Proteins that have a function in the lumen of certain organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, golgi or the nuclear envelope.

Hemoglobin doesn't fit in any of these cateogories, given that it is a cytoplasmic protein. Therefore, its synthesis begins and ends in the cytoplasm, where the protein performs its function.

2. As people age their bones become more porous, lose calcium and phosphorus and
Studentka2010 [4]

As people age there one become more porous due to loss of calcium and phosphate and osteoporosis.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become brittle and easy to break on injury which results due to the loss of calcium from the bones. Many health problems and aging can lead to the disease of osteoporosis like breast cancer, prostrate cancer, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, Sickle Cell disease, Parkinson's disease, thalassemia, and many others.

The decreased density of the bone can be detected with the help of bone density x-ray. In females osteoporosis is common after menopause in which the drop of estrogen hormone levels cause the loss of calcium absorption in the bones.

Write the biological mechanism involved in breathing.
barxatty [35]
<span>Good Morning!

The breathing process occurs as follows: Inhalation increases the volume of the lungs, which reduces internal pressure and causes air to enter. Then the exhalation makes the opposite process. Gaseous exchanges occur in the lung alveoli and are responsible for eliminating the gases we do not need and preparing the oxygen to be spread throughout the body.
