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.

zzz [600]

I'd say it is phosphorus or phosphate. The easiest way to identify the answer is trough these frases:

Plants absorb this nutrient from the soil and turn it into organic compounds through assimilation.

Plants take up the usable nutrient through the soil and assimilate it into proteins, making it part of the plant.

During assimilation, plants provide phofphorous (and other nutrients) to the cells and tissues - plants absorb this nutrient from the soil and turn it into organic compounds through assimilation.

Plants also used phosphorus in processes such as transpiration and photosynthesis wich contributes to the fact that plants take up the usable nutrient through the soil and assimilate it into proteins, making it part of the plant.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

How do greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O contribute to an increase in Earth’s atmospheric temperature?
IRINA_888 [86]

These greenhouse gases are trapping the heat inside the atmosphere. When more of these gases are released, it contributes to global warming and the melting of many polar areas that could potentially cause a natural disaster in the future.

Why do you think the snapper population changed the way it did?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Snapper population is decreasing

Explanation:

The population is decreasing since the human population is increasing dramatically.  As the human population increases, the demand for fish and seafood also increases since humans eat seafood and fish.  As the demand for fish increases, fishermen fish for these snappers more often and in bigger loads.  Snappers cant reproduce faster than these fishermen are hunting for them and so the population decreases
