<u>Answer </u>

The phrases would be;

<em>-A passive transport </em>

<em>-Movement of water molecules </em>

<em>-Through a semipermeable membrane</em>

<em>-From a higher concentration to a lower concentration</em>

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Osmosis is the process by which water moves from its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Osmosis is an example of passive transport, since it does not require energy like the case of active transport.</u></em>
  • <em><u>For example, when a cell is put in a hypotonic solution, a solution with more solvent concentration, the cells absorbs water from the solution through osmosis and increases in size.</u></em>

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.Osmosis can be made to do work.

Osmotic pressure is defined as the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane.

Describe how algal blooms form.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Algal blooms occur when algae multiply very quickly. Blooms can form in waters that are rich in the nutrients the algae need to grow, such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and iron. ... Blooms may become more frequent as the earth warms and the levels of nutrients in our waters increase.

Fynjy0 [20]

For the generalized scheme of Alternation of generations (see p. 120), plants have two forms based on a genetic complement that are the Sporophytes (2N diploid) and Gametophyte (N haploid). The processes connecting the two stages are gametangia producing haploid spores and zygote cell growth producing haploid gametophyte. Group of answer choices

const2013 [10]

Answer:

a) i) Xylem

   ii) Upper epidermis  

   iii) Stoma

   iv) Chroloplast  

   v) Palisade cell layer

b) By a waxy layer on the cuticle of the leaf

Explanation:

The plant's leaves have a large surface area that is capable of absorbing sunlight. The plant's waxy layer in the surface of the leaf protects it from the loss of water, as well as of diseases caused by the entry of microorganisms. The palisade cell's surface is a single layer of cells underneath the upper epidermis that is adapted to absorb light energy.

The waxy layer is a primary physical barrier composed of insoluble polymers and lipids whose function is to protect the leaves against the entry of harmful organisms including virus, bacteria and fungus. Moreover, the plant's waxy cuticle is also a barrier that prevents the loss of water and solutes.
