Which statement describes the energy involved in diffusion? Diffusion requires energy in all cases. Diffusion requires energy on

ly to move material in through the cell membrane. Diffusion does not require energy in any situation. Diffusion requires energy only to move material out through the cell membrane.

Answer:

Both b and d can be correct

Explanation:

Generally, diffusion does not require energy (<em>making option a wrong</em>) because it is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration hence diffusion moves particles in the direction of a concentration gradient. An example of this is the passive transport (for instance, uptake of glucose by a liver cell).

However, in some cases, when diffusion is against the concentration gradient (i.e when particles move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration), diffusion will require energy in a case like this (<em>making option c wrong</em>). An example of this is active transport (transport of protein called sodium-potassium pump which involves pumping of potassium into the cell and sodium out of the cell).

The explanation above shows that diffusion can require energy to move particles (in or out) of the cell through the cell membrane.

Disadvantages of Mendeleev's periodic table​
mestny [16]

Answer:

Various limitations of Mendeleev's periodic table are:-

Position of hydrogen - he couldn't assign a correct position to hydrogen as it showed properties of both alkali and halogens .

Position of isotopes - he considered that the properties of elements are a function of their atomic masses. Hence isotopes of a same element couldn't be placed.

In the d-block , elements with lower atomic number were placed before higher atomic number.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same chemical property but may not have the same physical properties A true
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Atoms of the same element that differ in their numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Many isotopes occur naturally. ... Different isotopes of an element generally have the same physical and chemical properties because they have the same numbers of protons and elec

Does acid rain make new substances? Construct an argument that uses data from this investigation as evidence for your claim.
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Acid rain, like all acids, generates dissolution of chemical compounds, and reacts together with bases to be able to carry out oxide reduction reactions, which by deduction is very likely to form new substances as a result of the dissolution or acid erosion caused.

Explanation:

Acid rain is more likely to occur in large cities or large sources of pollution, since the excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes it to increase its partial pressure in a condensed way in the clouds, this is how then this cloud when being loaded with water and then generating the rain drags these masses of condensed carbon dioxide in the form of acid rain.

The degree of acidity is directly proportional to the amount of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The OAC simulation showed that warm air over a cold current:
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Option B

Transfers energy to the water

Explanation:

Warm air transfers energy to the water when it flows over cold currents. This means that the warm air loses heat energy to the cold currents thus, raising its temperature.

Whenever there is a temperature difference between two bodies in contact with each other, the Fouriers law explains that there is always a transfer of heat from the hotter body to the colder body until they become the same temperature.

Thus, following this, heat will flow from the warm air to the cold currents.
