Answer: Yes, plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane.

Differences between osmosis and diffusion are: osmosis occurs only through a selectively permeable membrane while diffusion does not involve a selectively permeable membrane.

Osmosis involves only the movement of water molecules while diffusion involves the movement of solute particles.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane because all biological membranes are composed of phospholipids bilayer which allows the passage of specific substances through it.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration (or low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (or high solute concentration) through a selectively permeable membrane.

Diffusion is the movement of solute particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

For osmosis to occur, it must occur through a selectively permeable membrane. Diffusion can occur in the absence or presence of a selectively permeable membrane.

3. Why is it sometimes necessary to use a model that is "not to scale"?
joja [24]
My answer: Because the actual thing you might be modelling might be too small or large to replicate, (for example you cannot draw a plant cell TO SCALE because it’s way too small to see with a bare eye).
And if the item is too big, you won’t be able to fit it in a small space; if you were to draw it or create it in 3D.

I hope this helps!

Phoenix [80]
The correct answer is delirium.
The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) is a psychiatric tool used to assess and identify delirium in patients. According to the first observations and the patient's responses to CAM, the nurse can conclude that the patient exhibits signs of delirium. This is because he is unable to concentrate and organize his thinking, he is inattentive, he is lethargic and all these behaviours are sudden and acute. These symptoms cannot be associated with dementia, as dementia develops gradually and doesn't affect attention and consciousness. Also, the symptoms don't point to depression since depressive patients are focused and attentive. Finally, the nurse cannot conclude that the patient is dehydrated because further tests need to be conducted to assess hydration.
