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.

Which best describes independent assortment?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

In metaphase 1, chromosomes from the mother and father line up randomly along the middle of the cell.

Explanation:

In diploid (2n) organisms, the homologous chromosomes are the two copies of each chromosome, where one of these homologs is the chromosome from the mother, while the second one is from the father. During metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes pair together at the middle of the cell. The law of independent assortment, also known as or Mendel's Second Law, states that homologous chromosomes line up in random orientations at the metaphase plate during this period (metaphase I).

Manatees, aquatic mammals inhabiting Florida’s rivers and coastal waters, swim close to the surface and are frequently killed in
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

In the situation given in the question, it is stated that manatees can not hear low-pitched sounds of the slow boats and therefore this could cause more collisions and deaths.

The answer that can cast doubt on the conclusion, if true, is that the hyacinth that the manatees feed on grows best in water that is still, so it would make sense for the boats the slow down even though the risk of a collision with a manatee increases.

I hope this answer helps.
