Answer:

The coastal ocean seems to be more productive than the waters of the similar height in the open ocean due to ample availability of water, sunlight, and nutrients. The coastal ocean has more nutrients due to the process of upwelling, that is, movement of water offshore by the currents.

Also, water situated on the continental shelves is comparatively shallower and thus it is turbulent. This mixing or turbulence keeps settling the nutrients stirred up and accessible, and eventually, ample of nutrients erode off the continents themselves and so water nearby to the shore seems to be greater in nutrients.  

On the other hand, in the surface water away from the coastlines, usually, there is a lot of sunlight but no availability of adequate nutrients. Therefore, the majority of the ocean surface is not much productive.

Answer:

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, which controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell by passive and active transport.

Explanation:

According to this question, animal cells are made up of the following contents: 90% water and 10% protein, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, lipids and other molecules. The cell regulates this internal composition in a stable way via a process called HOMEOSTASIS.

The animal cell is able to regulate or maintain a stable internal composition by the possession of a selective permeable membrane called CELL MEMBRANE. The cell membrane is semi-permeable in the sense that it allows the entry of some molecules into and out of the cell and blocks others.

Some molecules are allowed by the cell membrane without the need for energy input in a transport called PASSIVE TRANSPORT while some requires energy input in a transport called ACTIVE TRANSPORT.

How are vascular and non-vascular plants different, and how do each of them work through osmosis?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Vascular plants have tubelike structures that carry water, nutrients, and other substances throughout the plant. Nonvascular plants do not have these tubelike structures and use other ways to move water and substances.

Vascular plants are said to have a true stem, leaves, and roots due to the presence of vascular tissues. Non-vascular plants do not have true roots, stems, or leaves and the tissues present are the least specialized forms of tissue. Some examples of vascular plants include maize, mustard, rose, cycad, ferns, clubmosses, grasses. Some examples of non-vascular plants include moss, algae, liverwort, and hornwort.

How vascular plants work through osmosis

The xylem of vascular plants consists of dead cells placed end to end that form tunnels through which water and minerals move upward from the roots to the rest of the plant. Through the xylem vessels, water enters and leaves cells through osmosis.

How non vascular plants work through osmosis

Because non vascular plants do not have the xylem and phloem ystem, they absorb water right into their cells through their leaves when it rains or when dew falls. Internal cells get their water by passive osmosis. While, they use rhizoids to transport nutrients and minerals.
