Where/when/why is diffusion important in our lives/bodies? 2 or more paragraphs, need to be strong

Biology

Brums [2.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

in human body, the diffusion of different chemicals and gases is important functions in the body.  useful molecules enter and waster products are removed from body during diffusion. oxygen and carbon dioxide are diffused in the lungs .

Diffusion of water, salts and waste products occur in the kidneys. The waste products also evaporates in the form of sweating. The diffusion does not require much energy which is advantage of it.  

calcium is diffused in to the cells from the food across the intestinal mucosa.  when there is need of calcium, it get released from the bones and small intestine will then start absorbing calcium.

Studies have shown that the movement of calcium into intestinal cells is both passive diffusion.

Answer:

Transmission electron microscope (MET): allows sample observation in ultra-thin sections. A TEM directs the electron beam towards the object to be increased. A part of the electrons bounce or are absorbed by the object and others pass through it forming an enlarged image of the specimen. To use a TEM, the sample must be cut into thin layers, not larger than a couple thousand thousands of angstroms. A photographic plate or a fluorescent screen is placed behind the object to record the enlarged image. Transmission electron microscopes can increase an object up to a million times.

A scanning electron microscope creates an enlarged image of the surface of an object. It is not necessary to cut the object into layers to observe it with an SEM, but it can be placed in the microscope with very few preparations. The SEM scans the image surface point by point, unlike the TEM, which examines a large part of the sample each time. Its operation is based on traversing the sample with a very concentrated beam of electrons, similar to the scanning of an electron beam on a television screen. The electrons in the beam can disperse from the sample or cause secondary electrons to appear. Lost and secondary electrons are collected and counted by an electronic device located on the sides of the specimen. Each point read from the sample corresponds to a pixel on a television monitor. The higher the number of electrons counted by the device, the greater the brightness of the pixel on the screen. As the electron beam sweeps the sample, the entire image of it is presented on the monitor. Scanning electron microscopes can enlarge objects 200,000 times or more. This type of microscope is very useful because, unlike TEM or optical microscopes, it produces realistic three-dimensional images of the object's surface.

Why will a cradle run forever in vacuum?
scoundrel [369]

At least, that's how it would work in an "ideal" Newton's cradle, which is to say, one in an environment where only energy, momentum and gravity are acting on the balls, all the collisions are perfectly elastic, and the construction of the cradle is perfect. In that situation, the balls would continue to swing forever.

plz mark me as brainliest if this helped :)

During photosynthesis, light energy is converted to the energy in chemical bonds. What also happens according to the predictions
Kay [80]

Answer:

I think your answer is A. Chemical energy is converted to light energy. I am not 100% sure but i did study this and seems as if this is the only one that makes sense. Hope this helps! If not, sorry :/
