A microbe is a small living thing to tiny to be seen by the naked eye and include bacteria, fungi and viruses. Among their destructive actions is causing diseases in human beings and their livestock or plants, destruction of food by causing decomposition which might lead to hunger and other related calamities. Despite this destructive consequences, microbes are also known to have advantageous actions like helping in sewerage treatment, microbes found in the gastro-intestinal tract help in maintaining a good environment for digestion to take place. Microbes also help in ecological balance by causing decomposition of dead matter hence conserve the environment.

As we get older, bone formation decreases due to reduction in osteoblastic activity and numbers and bone resorption increases as a result of sex hormone deprivation, this will result in decreased bone mass (osteoporosis).

Answer:

Osmosis is the process of having water pass from a low concentration medium to a high concentration one, given that the barrier (membrane) is semi-permeable.

Explanation

Cells encounter osmosis due to their semi-permeable membranes. Water can flow past cell membranes. A given cell placed into distilled water will have some water flow into it, causing it to burst. A given cell placed in a very concentrated water will have some water flow out of it, causing it to shrivel. A given cell placed in a solution with the same concentration of minerals as the cell will have an equilibrium of water flowing in and out. This is the case of IV (Intravenous therapy) when we want to deliver substances into a human blood. We want to make sure the liquid delivered is as concentrated as the blood to avoid cell shriveling or bursting.

This picture above sums up the 3 cases cells could face in a solution.

Good luck!
