Answer:
osmosis
Explanation:
The process that was going is <u>osmosis</u>.
<em>Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from regions of high water potential to regions of low water potentials through a selectively permeable membrane.</em>
In this case, the membrane is only permeable to water movement and not ions and water molecules move from the side with pure water (which happens to have higher water potential) to the side with 4% sodium chloride until equilibrium in water potential is established between the two sides.
Answer:
b. Capillaries; veins; arteries
Explanation:
Capillaries are the blood vessels with very thin walls. They serve as a site for an exchange of substances such as respiratory gases, nutrients, and toxins between the blood and the cells of the tissues. Veins are the blood vessels that mostly pick the deoxygenated blood from the body cells and deliver it to the heart for oxygenation. On the other hand, arteries are the blood vessels that mostly carry the oxygen-rich blood. They pick the oxygenated blood from the heart and deliver it to body cells. Therefore, veins carry blood towards the heart while arteries carry it away from the heart.
Mycobacterium bacteria is rod shaped. The specific species that caused TB is mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Answer:
The correct option is <em>B) ultraviolet region, especially below a wavelength of 320 nm.</em>
Explanation:
Ultraviolet light carries an enormous amount of energy in it. It is invisible to the human eye. When UV light with enormous energy and wavelength lesser than 320nm, hits the DNA, it causes changes in the structure of the DNA. Mostly, it affects the thymine nitrogenous base regions and forms pyrimidine dimers. The structure of the DNA changes on all the sites where dimers form and hence, they cannot be properly transcribed.
Answer:
precipitate
Explanation:
In case of an inorganic chemical reaction leading to precipitation, the chemical reagent causing the solid to form is called the precipitant. The clear liquid remaining above the precipitated or the centrifuged solid phase is the ' supernate' or ' supernatant'.
