An example of osmosis is when the water leaves the tubules of the kidney in response to the hypertonic fluid surrounding the tubules. Osmosis in the kidneys is a filtration. Osmosis will filter the water molecules and solutes in the kidneys from the plasma to the tubule. The other choices given are not an example of osmosis. The correct answer to this question is A.
Answer:
Answer is microvilli.
Explanation:
Plasma membrane possesses or comprises of channels , made up of proteins , and form openings for certain molecules to diffuse through and into the cell.
The major function of the microvilli is that it increases the surface area of the cell. This activity increases the rate of absorption, secretion and cellular adhesion.
It should be noted that, microvilli are projections or protrusions found on the cellular membrane.
Answer:
<u>Depending upon the mass of various bodies and the gap between them, such as planets, satellites, etc., there appears a pulling effect between these massive masses. This pulling effect is known as gravitational force. One can establish the relationship of the orbital period by equating the gravitational force with centripetal force and substituting the velocity relation with the period.</u>

Answer:
B) oaks and other sexually reproducing, extant (currently living) trees
Explanation:
The biological species concept defines the species on the basis of their reproductive isolation. It states that when individuals are able to interbreed to produce fertile and viable progeny, they belong to the same species. The members of different biological species cannot interbreed. If they interbreed, either pre-zygotic or post-zygotic isolation mechanisms do not allow the production of fertile progeny.
Therefore, the biological species concept can be applied to the organisms that are able to reproduce sexually. The asexually reproducing organisms would not exhibit any reproductive isolation which is a key criterion to group organisms under different species. Among the given examples, biological species concept can be applied to the sexually reproducing extant trees such as oak.
Since we cannot deduce the reproductive isolation in sexually reproducing extinct species, the concept is not useful for dinosaurs which are extinct now.
