What characteristic makes osmosis different from diffusion?

Biology
1 answer:
balu736 [363]2 years ago
5 0
A. Osmosis has to occur through a semi-permeable membrane whereas diffusion can occur through any concentration gradient.

B is incorrect because net movement of osmosis is from area of low concentration to area of high concentration.

C is incorrect because both diffusion and osmosis is a form of passive transport

D is incorrect because the descriptions of osmosis and diffusion are swapped

Miller's classic experiment demonstrated that a discharge of sparks through a mixture of gases could result in the formation of
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-gas absent in primordial atmosphere (oxygen).

Explanation:

The Miller experiment was performed in 1953 to show that organic molecules can be formed from the inorganic molecules in the conditions resembling the primordial atmosphere.

Same conditions were created to the unstable atmosphere like a mixture of gases which included- methane, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen but lacked oxygen as it was absent in the primordial atmosphere.

Thus, gas absent in the primordial atmosphere (oxygen) is the correct answer.

Because nadh generated in the cytosol cannot enter the mitochondrion, electrons and protons from nadh are transferred in by ____
klio [65]
I think the correct term to fill in the blanks would be glycerol phosphate electron shuttle. This shuttle is responsible of transporting agents that are reducing into the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Since NADH cannot enter, it is reduced so that the electrons could go in to the transport chain.

one reason that electric power plants do not send out electrical energy as a direct current is that direct current can not be tr
777dan777 [17]

This is because direct power has no pulsation (waveform characteristic) that is significant in electromagnetic induction. The gradual increase and decrease of power, at a given frequency, in indirect power is significant in electromagnetic induction. This enables transformers to induce electricity into the secondary coil, from the primary coil, at the core of the transformer.Transformers transform electric power by increasing or decreasing the voltage and current of electricity.

If the characteristic is eye color, what could be two different phenotypes?
Feliz [49]
The phenotype is just a characteristic/trait. 

For instance Brown and Green are phenotypes of eye color. 

This can also be used in Punnet Squares, and could be displayed as B and G. 
B equaling dominant Brown, and G = dominant Green, vice versa to g and b where they are recessive.

What is the role of RNA in protein production
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes. These complex structures, which physically move along an mRNA molecule, catalyze the assembly of amino acids into protein chains. They also bind tRNAs and various accessory molecules necessary for protein synthesis.
