How is osmosis different from diffusion

Biology
1 answer:
kupik [55]2 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!

Which best describes a way that the periodic table is arranged?
Sveta_85 [38]
Among the ones listed above, the statement that best describes the way that the periodic table is arranged is "<span>The nonmetals are grouped together, which the exception of hydrogen.</span>" It can be seen that all of the nonmetals are placed on the far right of the periodic table except for hydrogen. They do not belong in a single column and are separated from the metals by the metalloids. Moreover, the elements are placed in the periodic table in increasing atomic number.

Trace the ductal pathway from the epididymis to the urethra. (Module 26.5C)
iragen [17]

Answer:

epididymis

ductus deferens

ampulla of ductus deferens

seminal gland

ejaculatory duct

urethra

Explanation:

Epididymis is a tube that connects the back side of the testicles to the vas deferens (ductus deferens). The vas deferens is the connecting link between epididymis and urinary tract/urethra and is responsible for transporting sperm to the urethra. Seminal vesicles are small glands that lie above the prostate gland and make up more than 50% of the total semen. Seminal vesicles are connected to the vas deferens through ejaculatory duct. This duct empties sperm and semen into the urethra

Hence, the correct order is

epididymis

ductus deferens

ampulla of ductus deferens

seminal gland

ejaculatory duct

urethra
