The answer should be D, water; reach equilibrium.
Osmosis is only the movement of water, down the water potential gradient. Movement of other substances should be involved in diffusion or active transport instead.
The goal of osmosis (also diffusion) is to make the concentration of substance (water potential for osmosis) the same. This is the meaning of equilibrium. Water molecules won't stop moving after equilibrium is reached, but there no net flow, meaning the amount of water molecules flowing from the left to right for example is same as the molecules flowing from right to left. So, the second answer is to reach equilibrium.
The answer is D.
Answer:
B. Both DNA and RNA molecules
Explanation:
Both DNA and RNA contain adenine (A) and guanine (G) and, cytosine (C).
But, DNA contains thymine (T), whereas in RNA, it's replaced with uracil (U).
Answer:
extant; extinct.
Explanation:
A species is a group of individuals that can interbreed to produce fertile and viable progeny. A species may be present on the earth and is surviving or may not be present now on the earth and have become extinct due to one or more reasons. Extant species are the species living on the earth in the present time while extinct species do not exist now. For instance, <em>Plateosaurus engelhardti</em> is a species of dinosaurs that survived on the earth during the Triassic period but does not exist now. On the other hand, <em>Homo sapiens, Apis indica</em> are some of the examples of the extant species that are surviving on the earth.
When a pathogen comes in contact with your body, it has to breach the first line of defense to get inside. Your skin and mucus membranes are the main barrier here. Mucus traps the pathogens, and then is forced out of your body when you cough or blow your nose. Your skin also secretes chemicals that have antiviral properties, killing viruses on contact. If the pathogens get through that defense, the next line is non-specific immunity cells that patrol your tissues engulfing pathogens. There are other cells that do this, like macrophages, but the dendritic cells are most important for activating the third line of defense in your body.
Dendritic cells reside in your tissues, waiting for an invader to arrive. When they do find one, they engulf it and digest it. After they do this, they select pieces of the invader called antigens and put them on their surfaces. The dendritic cells migrate back to lymph nodes, key locations in your body filled with immune cells. There, they show the antigens, called antigen presentation, to two types of lymphocytes, T-cells and B-cells, activating them for a full immune response.
