miskamm [114]3 years ago
6 0

Elderly people are most at risk from minor trauma that results in serious spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative vertebral disorders. Males are more prone to spinal cord injuries than females but not as a result of preexisting disorder. This may be related to an increased involvement in contact sports or a propensity to participate in high risk activities. Neither females nor infants are at any particular risk for spinal cord injuries.

Based on this, Diagram A shows that the one space has no solute particles causing the particles to move against gradiation. The movement is shown in Diagram B. This process is used to equalize the solute particles in the solution.

2. In the diagram C, we can see that enough particals have moved over to the other side, or against the concentration gradient. The solution is now isotonic or equilibrium.
