Answer:

Molecules are defined as a combination of two or more same or different atoms bounded together.

Types of molecules are as follows:

Diatomic molecules: A molecules which is consist of only two atoms of different or same elements are called diatomic molecules. Example: O2 and CO.

Heteronuclear diatomic molecules: A molecule that composed of two atoms of the same element is called heteronuclear diatomic molecules. Example: Hydrogen (H2) and Nitrogen (N2).

Homonuclear diatomic molecule: A molecule that composed of two atoms of different elements are called homonuclear diatomic molecule. Example: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Hydrogen fluoride (HF).

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer & explanation:

Melanism occurs due to a genetic mutation that causes the excessive and concentrated production of the black pigment, called melanin. The consequence is living beings with darkened skin or fur. There are three types of melanism.

Adaptive melanism occurs by the need to adapt to the environment, a condition that will be passed through the generations. This melanism allows animals to camouflage themselves during hunting or to hide from predators.

Industrial melanism is related to human interference, especially industrial activities, in the lives of animals (dark-colored moths are the best-known cases). Air contamination is one of the main factors for this condition.

There is also pseudo-melanism, which partially affects animals and is generally motivated by genetic mutations. In certain species, the characteristic spots and stripes appear larger and darker than usual. This type of melanism is very present in cats such as tigers, cheetahs, leopards. However, other animals can still be affected.

Membrane permeable to a liquid (solvent) and impermeable (or poorly permeable) to substances dissolved in the liquid (solute). It can be natural or synthetic.
Depending on the membrane and solute, the permeability may depend on the size, solubility, properties, or chemical composition of the solute itself.

If molecules are small enough, then it can pass through the semi-permeable membrane, because the permeability is inversely proportional to the molecule size.

For example in hemodialysis, electrolytic equilibrium and toxics' elimination are performed by subjecting the patient's blood to the dialysis physical principle. It is made to slide in a filter in which it comes in contact with a semi-permeable membrane through which pass only or at least in a greater quantity of toxic substances) that you want to remove.
