Osmosis is the net movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower gradient concentration to an area of higher gradient concentration. On the other hand, tonicity is the ability of an extracellular fluid to make water move into or out of a cell through osmosis. A solution's tonicity is related to its osmolarity or the total concentration of the solutes in a solution.

When solutions of varying osmolarities are separated through a membrane that is permeable to water but not to solute, water from the side with lower osmolarity will move to the area with higher osmolarity.

<span>Tonicity is the concentration of a solution compared to another, with regards to the number of solutes in these solutions. Too many solutes in a cell may cause them to be hypertonic hence absorb water too much water and lyse. Therefore, these solutes are excreted to the blood-stream through active transport and facilitated diffusion. These solutes are then excreted by the kidneys. If they are not excreted, the osmotic pressure (due to the inflow of water to the blood stream by osmosis) may cause high blood volumes being pumped by the heart hence high blood pressure</span>

______ measurements use your 5 senses.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The correct answer is - qualitative measurements.

Explanation:

When the information about characteristics is tough to describe of define by measuring or represent numerically, qualitative measurements are used to describe it.

These measurements are carried out by information collected through all senses such as vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. For example softness of the skin, the color of hair.

Thus, the correct answer is - qualitative measurements.

Describe the steps in transcription that require complementary base pairing.
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Transcription takes place in nucleus in the presence of the enzyme RNA polymerase.

During transcription, the code present in DNA gets transcribed into the code in mRNA.  (messenger RNA)

RNA even though is a single stranded shows base pairing.

The pre-mRNA gets created from the DNA.

DNA has two strands, one of these strands acts as coding and another non coding strand.

The DNA shows base pairing with AGTC.   [A-Adenine, G- Guanine, T-Thymine and C- Cytosine]

Whereas mRNA base pairing with AGUC.  [ U- Uracil ]

Here in mRNA, instead of thymine, uracil gets paired.

According to base pairing of coding strand/sense strand of DNA, complementary bases pairs in 5'---->3' direction in mRNA.

The mRNA created looks exactly like the non-coding strand/sense strand of DNA except instead of thymine, uracil gets replaced.

The pre-RNA undergoes splicing, capping and tailing to form mature mRNA.

In what process is mutation first able to develop
zysi [14]
In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements. Mutations result from errors during DNA replication or other types of damage to DNA, which then may undergo error-prone repair, or cause an error during other forms of repair, or else may cause an error during replication. Mutations may also result from insertion or deletion of segments of DNA due to mobile genetic elements. Mutations may or may not produce discernible changes in the observable characteristics of an organism.
