Diffusion of water across a membrane from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration is called _____. a.osmos

The answer is C- facilitated diffusion.it is a type of passive transport. In facilitated diffusion particles move from higher concentration to lower concentration. So particles move along their concentration gradients , so energy is not required.

Active transport is different than passive transport in that:
torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is: A. active transport requires energy.

Explanation:

  • Active transport can be defined as the physiological process by which molecules are enforced to migrate from a region where their concentration is low to a region where their concentration is high across a semi-permeable membrane. This occurs by the expenditure of energy. This type of movement is usually carried out by the integral membrane transport proteins or carrier proteins those remain interspersed across the plasma membrane.
  • Passive transport can be defined as the physiological process in which no energy expenditure is required. This is because in this form of transport, molecules move from a region where their concentration is high to a region where their concentration is low, that is, down the gradient of their concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane. This type of movement can be mediated by simple diffusion or with the help of membrane transport proteins.

What field of science investigates ideas about a possible extraterrestrial origin of life?
MariettaO [177]
The relevant field is astrobiology, the most highly funded branch of science that has the least scientific evidence supporting it.  It encompasses cosmology, chemistry, geology, astrophysics, and biology predominantly and is exploring and attempting to generate knowledge on every aspect of naturalistic investigation of panspermia, habitability of exoplanets, energy sources in the cosmos, potential astro-intelligence, and composition of meteors, comets, asteroids, planets, solar systems and galaxies. The scope of astrobiology must accommodate virtually all of physical reality to be truly comprehensive.

Astrobiology is not funded well enough for the scope of the task, but is driving much of the science universe exploration projects to try to answer one of the fundamental questions of human history, is there other life and how did life come into being. Panspermia, non-directed (biochemical compounds from extraterrestrial sources of any type) and directed (intentional or non-intentional alien transmitted sources) are a prime astrobiological theoretical field and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence,SETI,  is also a prime focus of astrobiology,
