What is the relationship between osmosis and diffusion

Biology
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago
7 0
“Diffusion sees molecules in an area of high concentration move to areas with a lower concentration, while osmosis refers to the process by which water, or other solvents, moves through a semipermeable membrane, leaving other bits of matter in its wake.”

Explain how human embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, and skin cells taken from the same person would be the same and how th
nexus9112 [7]
All three cells would be similar since they all share the same hysteroscopic pathology being that they are all from the same individual. However, the ways in which they are different are vast and can be described ad nauseam. Suffice it to say that an embryonic stem cell is the most pure form of a cell, and can be used in a variety of different stem cell therapies for that reason. The skin cells would be most useful in terms of skin grafts, while adult stem cells are found only in mature individuals (ie: adults) and have little purpose other than supplying the organism with energy storage capacities.The differences briefly described here are due, in large part, to the tenets of the cell theory which states that all organisms, whether single celled or otherwise, are comprised of one or more cells containing DNA.

How contractile vacuole function in osmoregulation​
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: A contractile vacuole (CV) is an organelle, or sub-cellular structure, that is involved in osmoregulation and waste removal. ... In freshwater environments, the concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than outside the cell. Under these conditions, water flows from the environment into the cell by osmosis. The contractile vacuole (CV) complex is an osmoregulatory organelle of free-living amoebae and protozoa, which controls the intracellular water balance by accumulating and expelling excess water out of the cell, allowing cells to survive under hypotonic stress as in pond water.

If a nucleus has eight chromosomes during interphase, how many chromosomes does it have after mitosis is complete
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

8 chromosomes

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process whereby a cell divides into two identical copies of itself. This genetical identity emanates from the fact that the daughter cells possess the same kind and number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Hence, a nucleus that has eight (8) chromosomes during interphase will possess 8 chromosome in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis. Mitosis, which consists of stages, duplicate its DNA at the interphase stage but do not increase the chromosome number. Sister chromatids are formed for each chromosome, which separate during anaphase stage, and become individual chromosome in each daughter cell.

In this case, 8 chromosome are still formed at interphase but 16 sister chromatids. These chromatids separate equally into each daughter cell i.e 8 in each cell to become individual chromosomes.
