Answer with Explanation:

Let's start first with water on the Earth's moon. This is called "lunar water."

The moon was thought to be barren by scientists long time ago. However, they found out that there are actually <em>water reserves located in the shadowed craters.</em> It is said that the formation of this water was possible with the existence of <u>Oxygen atoms in the lunar rocks and minerals. </u>Due to the <u>solar wind</u> that blew into the place, <u>the Hydrogen ions from the wind combined with the Oxygen in order to form water.</u> So, the water that is found here is relatively fresh.

Let's go to "water on Mars." This is said to be <em>more older than the water on the moon</em> and is actually not that pure for it consists of some mixtures of rocks. It is said that billions of years ago, Mars had an abundant supply of water, but due to climate change, the supply didn't last long. As a result, the planet dried out and only the areas in the polar and mid-latitude regions have water<em> (in the form of ice).</em> This ice melts and refreezes, depending on the temperature. This is an evidence that people may possibly live on Mars.

Answer:

Hello! The answer is there is no record of having water on the moon.

Explanation:

Some deposits of water in the form of ice have been detected on Earth's Moon. However, the Moon has no atmosphere and no evidence of liquid water.

Mars has a thin atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon. A great variety of landforms on Mars, especially valleys and channels, appear to have been formed by liquid water in the past. This suggests that Mars was a warmer, wetter planet in the past and had a thicker atmosphere. Today, most of Mars' water appears to be frozen in polar ice caps and in bodies of ice buried at shallow depths.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because ferns are vascular plants i.e they have vascular tissues which are xylem and phloems which help to conduct water and nutrients while mosses are non vascular plants.

2. Ferns sporophytes are differentiated into true leaves, stems and true roots while mosses lack true roots, stems and leaves.

Underground stems are modified part of plants that are derived from stem tissues which grow under the ground. Underground stems grow beneath the soil. Examples include Rhizomes, ginger, tubers e t.c.

what is the significance of diffusion and osmosis in living organism ?give one example in support of your answer​
olasank [31]

Answer:

Diffusion is the process in which molecules and ions move from a region of high concentration to low concentration. Its also how cells transport waste out of the cell and nutrients into it hence being very crucial. Diffusion also occurs without the expenditure of extra energy using a procedure known as passive transport. (Osmosis is a form of diffusion but deals with water exclusively).

Examples of where diffusion is important;

In the intestines - Digested food molecules such as amino acids and glucose move down the concentration gradient from the intestine into the bloodstream. Wastes such as carbon dioxide or urea travel via diffusion from the body's cells to the bloodstream.

Osmosis plays a major role in living organisms. It aids in the transportation of nutrients from cells to cells and also helps to remove the waste's metabolic products from the cell. The purification of blood in the kidneys is also dependent on the process of osmosis.

What is the relationship between genes DNA and proteins
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Although you might have heard people talk about a gene for red hair, green eyes or other characteristics, it's important to remember that genes code for proteins, not traits. While your genetic makeup does indeed determine physical traits like eye color, hair color and so forth, your genes affect these traits indirectly by way of the proteins created via DNA.

Hopefully, this answer helped! :D
