Answer:

D. the process where a selectively permeable membrane allows the movement of water through it

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from the region of high water potential to the region of low water potential.

It can also be defined as the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from the region of low solute concentration to the region of high solute concentration.

<em>Hence, osmosis always involves the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.</em>

The correct option is D.

Why do you think naming the lynx might be advantageous for its survival? (please help)
Finger [1]

Answer:

Lynx are wild animals, which act as predators in regulating the populations of their prey.

Lynx are dangerous for humans but humans are more dangerous for them because they are hunted for their skin.

Naming the lynx will be advantageous for its survival because it will give them a unique identity and will increase care for them. Naming the animal create a different bond between human and animals which changes the way humans regard animals.

Write a report on storm around the world​
Greeley [361]
The U.S. central plains region -- nicknamed Tornado Alley -- suffers the highest frequency of tornadoes in the world [source: Tarbuck]. Many of these twisters leave death, injury and destruction in their wake, but one stands in a class by itself.

Sweeping out from southeastern Missouri on March 18, 1925, the Tri-State Tornado careened across the southern tip of Illinois before dissipating in lower Indiana. Remarkably, these three locales lie 219 miles (352 kilometers) apart, and the tornado traveled this distance in just three and a half hours [source: SEMP].
