Explain the difference between osmosis and diffusion and why each of these are crucial process in a cell.

Biology

Answer: 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. Both diffusion and osmosis aim to equalize forces inside cells and organisms as a whole, spreading water, nutrients and necessary chemicals from areas that contain a high concentration to areas that contain a low concentration.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecule from a place of high concentration to a place of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

Osmosis is the movement of molecules from a place of high water concentration to a place of low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane

Gope this helped have a great day! :)

Moss is an example of which type of plant?
defon

Answer: diplontic plant

Explanation:

The mosses belongs to the phylum of non-vascular plants. They produce spores instead of seeds. They do not produce flowers, true roots and wood. They do not posses a vascular system. They exhibit a diplontic life cycle. The diplontic life cycle involves the formation of diploid gametes. In mosses the diplontic life cycle the mosses produces diploid cells and in only one stage they produce haploid cells.

When DNA replication occurs before meiosis, the original DNA strand CAG CCG TAG is copied into complementary strand GTC ACA GGC
dedylja [7]
<span>The correct answer is B. Insertion. In this particular insertion there is an insert of three bases. Complementary strands in DNA are the opposite strand, so Adenine is coupled to Thymine and Guanine is coupled to Cytosine. So the complementary sequence (also called the antisense strand) of the original would be GTC GGC ATC, there's an extra 3 bases in there: ACA.</span>

The production of egg and sperm cells follows a certain sequence of events.
Maru [420]
The production of egg and sperm cells follows a certain sequence of events.

The correct order of those events are:
MEIOSIS, CELL DIFFERENTIATION, MATURE GAMETES.

Meiosis is defined as the process wherein a single cell is divided twice to produce four cells that contains half the original amount of genetic information.

Cell differentiation is defined as the process wherein the less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell. The haploid cells are the end result of meiosis. They must undergo cell differentiation before they can become mature gametes.
