Answer:

The answer is the last stated correct Characteristics statement which is 'Osmosis occurs through a semipermeable membrane. Diffusion occurs through a permeable membrane’.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the net movement of solvents (i.e water) and solutes through a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region od lower concentration, while diffusion is the movement of particles (i.e molecules, ions and atoms) from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Based on these definitions with regards to the question Osmosis and Diffusion both:

  • are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur  
  • have particles that move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration
  • additionally, Osmosis is used for mostly solvents (water) and some solutes (salt), making diffusion uses for mostly oxygen and carbon dioxide

Hence the only distinctive characteristics, that is correct, which makes Osmosis different from Diffusion is that Osmosis occurs through a semipermeable membrane while diffusion is through a membrane only.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Spinous process

Explanation:

The rhomboideus minor muscle originates on the <u>spinous processes</u> of vertebrae T2-T5

The rhomboideus minor muscle forms part of the superficial group of back muscles. The muscles in the superficial group are immediately deep to the skin and superficial fascia. They attach the superior part of the appendicular skeleton (clavicle, scapula, and humerus) to the axial skeleton (skull, ribs, and vertebral column).

These muscles are sometimes referred to as the appendicular group, since they are primarily involved with movements of part of the appendicular skeleton.

The rhomboideus minor is located deep to the trapezius in the superior part of the back. It inserts on the medial border of the scapula, is innervated by the dorsal scapular nerve its function is to adduct and elevate the scapula.

What happens when an electrical gradient and a chemical gradient are applying opposite forces to active transport?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Option B, they negate each other

Explanation:

Electrical gradient force is more or less equal to the chemical gradient during an active transport. The number of electron produced during the establishment of chemical gradients, were transferred through the cellular circuit to produce electrical gradient of an equivalent amount in opposite path.

Thus, both electrical and chemical gradient are opposite to each other and hence they negate out each other.

Option B
