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.

Paha777 [63]

The question is stated incorrectly. The correct question is as follows;

The site of intercellular communication between a neuron and another cell is the.

Answer:

Synapse.

Explanation:

Neurons have dendrites, cell body and axons. Millions of neurons are present in the nervous system. Different types of neuron are sensory neuron, motor neuron and interneuron.

Synapse may be defined as the gap between the two consecutive neurons. The junction between the two neurons that helps in the intercellular communication. The neurotransmitters are diffused directly and transmit information through these synapse.

Thus, the correct answer is synapse.

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The correct answer is - c) Pathology.

Explanation:

Mycology is the branch of biology in which students study fungi and their characteristics including their biochemistry, taxonomy, and genetics.

Agronomy is the other branch of biology that deals with agriculture and its practices and work to improve the crops.

Phycology is the study of algae and their characteristics including their biochemistry, taxonomy, and genetics.

The disease and its causes are studied under the pathology branch o  biology therefore, red rust would be studying in this discipline.
