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.

The answer is the first one. Diffusion is water only while osmosis can be for gasses

Which pathway is generally followed by a protein produced for secretion? select one:

bazaltina [42]

<span>The correct answer is "a" - rough er, vesicle, golgi, and then vesicle. This is due to the cells shearing the rough er into microsomes, passing into a vesicle, before moving through the golgi. These newly created secretions are then treated with proteases.</span>

Data clusters are sets of signs or symptoms that are grouped together logically. Match each sign or symptom with its appropriate

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

(A) PaO₂ below normal: PaO₂ is used to describe the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in the blood. When it is below normal, it indicates the individual isn't getting enough oxygen hence there is low pressure of dissolved oxygen in the blood. This sign/symptom falls under the Respiratory/oxygenation data cluster.

(B) Dyspnea on exertion: Dyspnea is a term used to describe shortness of breath while dyspnea on exertion is when an individual runs out of breath as a result of not been able to breath deeply/properly during or after an exercise. This sign/symptom also falls under the Respiration/oxygenation data cluster.

(C) Productive cough: This is a type of cough that produces/forces mucus out of the airway (thereby clearing the airway). This sign/symptom from this description is also Respiratory/oxygenation data cluster.

(D) Oxygenation saturation 92%: Oxygen saturation is when the body can supply enough oxygen to the cells and tissues within it's system. This sign/symptom is also a Respiratory/oxygenation data cluster.

(E) Feels "too tired to do much": This can also be referred to as fatigue. This is usually as a result of inadequate energy produced (usually from glycolysis) in the body. This sign/symptom, from this description, is a Reduced energy level data cluster.

(F) Requires frequent rest periods: This usually occurs as a result of imbalance in the body's metabolism. Here, the body uses more energy than it produces; more anabolic processes (energy requiring) than catabolic processes (energy produced/released). This sign/symptom, from this description, is a Reduced energy level data cluster.
