Which is true regarding diffusion and osmosis

Biology
2 answers:
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago

“In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.”

Answer:

Diffusion is defined as the motion of a particle (substance) from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. It takes place in the case of both liquids as well as gases. It is because the particles present in the liquid and gas move randomly from one place to another. It plays a significant role in the body of living organisms because, with the help of this process, the substances are allowed to enter and eliminate out of the cells.

Osmosis is defined as the movement of water (fluid), through a membrane that is semi-permeable in nature (as in the case of a living cell) into a solution that is comprised of a comparatively higher concentration of solute, thereby balancing the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The best way to approach this type of problem is to use the "complement method" ...  

P(positive result) = 1 - P(negative result)  

= 1 - (1 - 0.03)^3  

= 1 - 0.97^3 = 0.087327 or 8.7%

What type of human activities cause the elevation of atmospheric greenhouse gases
Leto [7]
The amount of greenhouse effect on Earth is directly proportional to the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In this era of industrialization, although it may seem that it has greatly improved the global economy, it also downplays the importance of consistently upholding our role as a steward to Earth. 

The most common types of human activities that continuously worsen the greenhouse effect are: burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, and industrial processes.

The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas emits carbon dioxide which accounts for approximately three-quarters of the warming impact caused by the greenhouse gas emissions. This is amplified significantly through deforestation. 

Methane, which accounts for 14 percent, and nitrous oxide, which accounts for eight percent are one of the major greenhouse gas emissions on earth. This can be sourced out from livestock and rice fields and also fossil fuel extraction and organic waste decay in landfill sites.

Industrial processes would incept fluorinated gases which accounts for one percent of the warming effect of current human greenhouse gas emissions.

Although it may seem that the values are not that high, but it must also be taken into consideration the several or a superfluous number of industries all around the world that simultaneously worsens the already groveling site of the continuously deteriorating and exploited planet Earth.
