Answer:

In chemistry, absorption is a physical or chemical phenomenon or a process in which atoms, molecules or ions enter some bulk phase – liquid or solid material. This is a different process from adsorption, since molecules undergoing absorption are taken up by the volume, not by the surface.

Ok, Im sorry but this drives me insane, so im only answering it because it drives me nuts.

Anyways.. Absorption is when something such as a towel or paper is absorbing or taking in the liquid that its on or near such as water or juice.  Or how the dictionary has it, "the process or action by which one thing absorbs or is absorbed by another."

Describe what happens to the air in the lungs when we breathe. What happens to the concentration of
Otrada [13]

When we breathe in, oxygen enters our lungs and enters small sacs in our lungs called the alveoli. In the alveoli, the oxygen diffuses INTO the bloodstream through small blood vessels, called capillaries, that surround these alveoli. The oxygen is now in our bloodstream instead of our lungs and is used in cell respiration etc.

Oppositely, carbon dioxide is diffused FROM the bloodstream TO the alveoli, also through these capillaries. The carbon dioxide is now in the lungs instead of the bloodstream and when you breathe out, the carbon dioxide is breathed out out of your lungs.

Hope this helped, even if it helped a tiny bit. :)

How might a single base substitution in the sequence of a gene affect the amino acid sequence of a protein encoded by the gene,
vovangra [49]
The effect differs. It could produce a different amino acid in the sequence because the corresponding codon has changed. It could also prevent the production of the originally intended sequence by changing one of the amino acids of a "start" codon (aka AUG) or extend the protein's sequence by modifying a "stop" codon (UAA, UAG, UGA or UGG), producing a new protein that might be useless or have different effects on the cell.

When water is distilled, any solutes dissolved in the water are left behind. Is distilled water hypertonic or hypotonic compared
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Hypotonic

Explanation:

Tap water contains a lot of solutes and ions that are absent in distilled water. The solution that has more solutes (more dissolved solids) will be the <em>hypertonic</em> solution.

Here, distilled water has no solutes, making it <em>hypotonic</em>.
