Answer:
C. Osmosis
Explanation:
Osmosis is the net movement of solvent molecules, usually water, from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is a very useful for moving materials in and out of the cell.
Solutions are mixtures of solutes and solvents. The main aim of osmosis is for all the mixture part to be uniform and the solvent equally dispersed to all the part of the solution.
Osmosis is controlled to a large extent by concentration gradient.
Diffusion on the otherhand is the movement of molecules of a substance from one position to another.
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are just mechanisms for transport within a cell or a body.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
An isolated system can NOT exchange energy or matter with it's surroundings. This is why it is isolated.
Answer:
Cells are so little, so they can maximize their ratio of surface area to volume.
Explanation:
Smaller cells have a higher ratio which allows more molecules and ions to move across the cell membrane per unit of cytoplasmic volume. Cells are so small because they need to be able to get the nutrients in and the waste out quickly.
Answer:
The plant will no longer be able to transport water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant
