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.

These changing water levels at Montauk can best be described as
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

A) cyclic and predictable

Explanation:

The graph shows changes in the water levels (in feet, ft). The water cycle consists of water that evaporates from the surface (land and sea) and subsequently returns in form of rain and/or snow. In general, water levels may be unpredictable in short term but predictable in the long term. The graph shows that this process is cyclic because it is regularly patterned and also occurs in regular intervals (therefore being predictable).

Why is evolution considered a theory
fgiga [73]
Because evolution has not been explicitly proven. There has been some evidence, but there is not enough real proof to support this. Even the man who invented the theory of evolution ended up not believing in his own theory at the time of his death. Overall, the premise of evolution is built on an unstable rock, a theory.
