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.

NEED HELP ASAP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Hey there! :D

When we are talking about gametes, we can use a punnet square, or in this case, common knowledge. If two of the alleles for one phenotype are the same, we can infer there will only be two variations of the genotype. (because there are two dominant SS genes) We already know that "D" must be the answer. Firstly, there will be one allele for each gene, so there will always be an "S" and a "T" no "SS" or "tt" (when talking about gametes). That leaves us with B and D but there is no recessive "s" in the original genotype, so the answer must be "D".

I hope this helps!

TiliK225 [7]
<span>Compound Microscope Compound microscope is commonly used in the schools and colleges. It comes under the category of microscopes used in biology. It has two lenses namely the objective lens and the ocular lens. It provides a magnification of 1500X. Eyepiece lens is of 10X or 15X power. It is used to observe bacterial, protozoa, various cells, etc.

</span><span>Dissecting Microscope It is also called stereo microscope. Its magnification power is less than the other microscope. It gives a 3 dimensional picture. Due to the low magnifying power they are used to observe little bigger objects than other microscopes. They are used in the surgeries, dissection, forensic science etc.</span>
