Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.
<span>Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Answer:
The object's velocity is increasing
Explanation:
From the graph above, we can deduce that the velocity is increasing. From the first stage, v=m/s=0.
At the third stage, v=20/2= 10m/s.
At the 5th stage, v=80/4=20m/s.
This shows velocity is increasing.
Answer:
Osmosis occurs where the movement of water move from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential.
The water potential in blood capillaries need to be higher than the water content in intestinal so that the water will move from blood to intestine which cause diarrhea.
Answer:
B (active transport using ATP)
Explanation:
Movement of substances normally occur in the direction of concentration gradient/difference i.e. the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane. Letting molecules diffuse or pass down their concentration gradient does not require energy but pumping those molecules against gradient requires energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is called Active transport.
In order to perform certain cellular processes, cells need to move substances from their surroundings into the cell across their cell membrane. Moving this substances against the concentration gradient between the cell membrane and its extracellular fluid requires energy (ATP).
An example is the sodium-pottasium pump employed by animal cells in which they expend energy to move K+ molecules into the cell and Na+ molecules outside the cell against the concentration gradient of their cell membrane and extracellular solution.
