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.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

B) binding of a molecule to a binding site affects the binding properties of another site on the protein.

Explanation:

In an allosteric interaction between a protein and a ligand, the ligand binds to a site in the protein. As a result, there is a change in the properties of other active sites on the protein. These active-site changes may or may not allow the protein to bind to other molecules. There is a change in the protein that affects the affinity of the active site for other molecules. The affinity on the active site increases if the protein binds to an activator and decreases if the protein binds to an inhibitor molecule.

How can insulin deficiency lead to an increase in blood glucose concentration?
MakcuM [25]

When insulin is deficient , GLUT4 transporters are not inserted into the cell membranes , glucose is not transported into the cells and the blood glucose concentration increases.

Insulin deficiency provides more amino acid and glycerol substrates for glucose synthesis  ie increased gluconeogenesis .

With a deficiency of insulin, there is both increased hepatic glucose production through increased glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as decreased glucose use. The result is hyperglycemia.
