How is osmosis different from diffusion

Biology
1 answer:
kupik [55]3 years ago
7 0
Diffusion is a spontaneous process in which molecules move with their concentration gradient. For example, if you place food coloring in water, the food coloring will slowly diffuse through the water until the entire solution has been balanced.

Osmosis is specifically the movement of <em>water</em> through a semipermeable membrane - meaning a membrane that can let some substances in but keep others out - and, similar to diffusion, it moves with its concentration gradient. For example, if you place a glucose solution sealed in plastic in water, water will move into the plastic to even out the concentration of glucose in the entire solution because glucose is too large to diffuse freely.

Hope this helped!

<h2>Type of Organisam to a Characteristic </h2>

The chloroplast produces food from inorganic materials. Anaerobic organelles cannot survive in the presence of oxygen this is because oxygen does not help in it's growth. Though eukaryotic cells contain cell nucleus. This is why chloroplasts produce food through photosynthesis.

Question 21<br> Neurons of the cerebral cortex never dip into the medulla.<br> O True<br> O False
V125BC [204]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex refers to the outer layer of the brain. This layer is formed by a thin film of nervous tissue that surrounds the surface of the cerebral hemispheres, with primates having a much more developed cerebral cortex than other animals.  

the cerebral cortex is a thin layer of neurons and neuronal connections which is embedded in the neocortex(the neuronal cells of the cerebral cortex which form in the deep layer), it is not homogeneous, since it is made up of six layers of cells, each with specific and specific functions.

If two intermediate-colored chickens together produced 100 chicks, how many would you expect to be black?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: 25 of the chicks will be black

Explanation: Since the chickens are intermediate in colour, that is they are not black, they are heterozygous. Let B represent the allele for black colour and B represent the allele for blue colour, therefore the genotype of a chicken with an intermediate colour is Bb. A cross between two Bb chicken will produce 1 BB, 2 Bb and 1 bb chicks. 1 BB will manifest outwardly as black, 2Bb will manifest outwardly as intermediate colored while 1 bb will manifest outwardly as blue colored chicks.

Since one out of four chicks are black colored, if the two chicken produced 100 chicks, the number of chicks that will be black is 1/4 x 100 = 25. Therefore, 25 chicks out of 100 will be black.
