Why does osmosis differ from the diffusion of gases

Biology
1 answer:
mrs_skeptik [129]3 years ago
5 0

This can be answered with the help of describing osmosis and diffusion in plants. The motion of molecules through the semi-permeable membrane is osmosis. In diffusion, motion of molecules is direct and does not need a semi-permeable membrane.

Explanation:

  • In plants, osmosis help plants to absorb water from soil. Diffusion is the process by which carbon dioxide diffuses to the leaves and then to the cells.
  • The genetic modifications in some of the plants can help in survive and adopt the osmosis in a very dry environment. They develop defense methods to handle the water loss. Some plants in a permanent dry environment like desert have special structures like reduced leaves,  sunken stomata, and so on to conserve water.
  • Osmosis happens only in liquid medium. Diffusion happens in any medium - solid, liquid, and gases.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: Option D.

Whether their cell walls have a thin or thick layer of peptidoglycan.

Explanation:

Gram positive bacteria have thick cell wall layer of peptidoglycan and their cells stain purple when subjected to gram staining which is crystal violet. Examples are anthrax bacteria, diphtheria e.t.c.

Gram negative bacteria have thin cell wall layer of peptidoglycan and tend to retain the color when stained with crystal violet or gram staining. Examples are E.coli, pseudomonas aeruginosa e.t.c. Gram staining is important to differentiate between gram positive from gram negative bacteria.

Is decay of dead plant material a biotic factor or an abiotic factor?
Juliette [100K]
Technically you are able to argue both ends. Biotic factors are living things while abiotic factors are no living things. since the plant was once living, you can argue that it is a biotic factor, however, I would say the dead plant decay would be abiotic because it is not living anymore. I hope that helped!
