<span>haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now.
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed]
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!</span>

Answer: 1.176×10^-3 s

Explanation: The time constant formulae for an RC circuit is given below as

t =RC

Where t = time constant , R = magnitude of resistance = 21 ohms , C = capacitance of capacitor = 56 uf = 56×10^-6 F

t = 56×10^-6 × 21

t = 1176×10^-6

t = 1.176×10^-3 s

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.

zaharov [31]

Given that,

Frequency emitted by the bat, f = 47.6 kHz

The speed off sound in air, v = 413 m/s

We need to find the wavelength detected by the bat. The speed of a wave is given by formula as follows :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{413}{47.6\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=0.00867\ m$

$\lambda=8.67\ mm$

So, the bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes i.e. 8.67 mm.

Which is the electric potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge?Electric fieldelectric field lineelectric pot

Dahasolnce [82]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

electric potential

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge.

Mathematically; V =PE/q

Where; PE is the electric potential energy, V is the electric potential and q is the charge.

Electric potential is more commonly known as voltage. If you know the potential at a point, and you then place a charge at that point, the potential energy associated with that charge in that potential is simply the charge multiplied by the potential.

The standard metric unit of density for a solid is

prisoha [69]

There is no SI "base unit" of density.
(Any unit of mass) divided by (any unit of volume) is
a valid unit of density.

The units of density that are seen most often are

(gram per cm³) and (kgm per meter³) .
