Biology
1 answer:
makkiz [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Osmosis is the movement of water or other solvent through a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration, tending to equalise the concentrations of the solutes. Osmosis is passive transport, meaning it does not require energy to be applied.

Examples of osmosis in daily life include plant cells soaking up water, skin soaking up water, and slugs reacting to salt.

pshichka [43]
The correct answer for the question is B; Oxygen is used for respiration and carbon dioxide is a waste product.

Explanation;
Plants and animals use the process of respiration to produce energy which is used to fuel normal activities such as growth and movement. The process uses oxygen to break down nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and release energy needed by the plants and animals; but, also creates water and carbon dioxide as byproducts. 
Carbon dioxide is a by product of the process of respiration, a chemical reaction that plants and animals use to produce energy they need to carry out day to day activities.
