Which is true regarding diffusion and osmosis

Biology

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.

joja [24]

The correct option is (B) The embryo undergoes radial and indeterminate cleavage.

<h3>What are nine-banded Armadillos?</h3>
  • Despite being endemic to the Southeast of the United States, nine-banded armadillos have been steadily expanding their range northward for more than a century.
  • They favor warm, humid climates with woodland or grassland settings for their homes. 9-banded armadillos almost always give birth to four identical quadruplets.
  • The young are extremely vulnerable to predators when they are born since their shell has not yet hardened.

Aldosterone is synthesized from cholesterol. <br> a. True<br> b. False
patriot [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Effectively, aldosterone is synthesized from cholesterol.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone from the mineralocorticoid family, synthesized in the glomerular area of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland. It acts in the conservation of sodium, in the secretion of potassium and in the increase of blood pressure. Its secretion is decreased in Addison's disease and increased in Conn's syndrome. Aldosterone, as well as all steroid hormones, is synthesized from cholesterol.

In samples of DNA isolated from two unidentified species in bacteria, X and Y adenine makes up 32% and 17%, respectively, of the
Vikki [24]

Answer:

On the basis of Chargaff's rule, in a double-helical DNA, A = T and G = C (Here A means adenine, T means thymine, G means guanine, and C means cytosine. For X, A is given 32%, therefore, T must be 32%, and the leftover 36% is to be distributed equally between G and C. Thus, G = C = 18% each.  

The assumption formed is that the DNA is a double-stranded structure. The species that exhibits higher G + C content in the molecule of a DNA is steadier at higher temperatures as it melts at high temperature. The species Y, which exhibits G + C in total as 66% is the thermophilic bacterium between the two.
