Answer: The correct answer is: C The are the same except osmosis specifically and only involves water.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process in which a solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane in order to dilute a concentrated solution and it ends up equalizing the concentration of the solution at both sides of the cell membrane.

On the other hand, diffusion occurs when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration and it ends up equalizing the concentration.

So the main difference is the presence/ Lack of water in the processes.

In conclusion the correct answer is : C.

What is the term used for the elements and compounds before a chemical reaction takes place?
alexandr1967 [171]

Explanation:

Before a chemical reaction, the elements and compounds which are about to take part in the reaction are known as reactants.

And, when the chemical reaction takes place between the given elements and compounds then they change into products.

For example, we take sodium and chlorine elements and before any chemical reaction they are the reactants.

But when a chemical reaction takes place between sodium and chlorine then it results into the formation of sodium chloride which is the product.

The respiratory rate times the tidal volume corrected for the dead air space in the lungs is the __________.
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

d. alveolar ventilation rate

Explanation:

Alveolar Ventilation rate (AVR) refers to the rate of airflow that reaches the alveoli which is available for gas exchange with the blood in a given unit of time. AVR is generally calculated as the amount in millimeters of air expired that equilibrates (i.e., exchanges) with alveolar gas per min unit (ml/min). AVR is affected by breathing frequency, tidal volume ( i.e., the normal amount of air between inhalation and exhalation), and the amount of dead space in the lungs.
