Answer:

In osmosis, water moves from areas of low concentration of solute to areas of high concentration of solute.So osmosis only occurs with a semipermeable membrane, and even with the membrane some water will move both sides. MORE water will move up the concentration gradient, thus there is a net flow up the gradient.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

- Organism A is most likely a herbivore

- Organism B is most likey a carnivore

Explanation:

Based on feeding habit, organisms, usually animals, can be classified into three categories namely: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

- Herbivores are those organisms that feed on vegetative matter i.e. plants while carnivores are those organisms that feed on flesh of other animals or organisms. Based on what they feed on, herbivores are adapted to possess blunt teeth (for chewing) like Organism A in this question while carnivores are adapted to possess sharp teeth (for tearing flesh) like Organism B.

Based on the above explanation, organism A is most likely a HERBIVORE while organisms B is most likely a CARNIVORE.

- Another notable point of difference between herbivores and carnivores, which is likely to differentiate organism A and B as well, is that herbivores possess digestive enzyme- amylase in their saliva while carnivores do not. Herbivores need AMYLASE to break down complex carbohydrate (starch) in the plants they feed on.

Where does thyroxine come from and what does it do?
GREYUIT [131]

Thyroxine is an important hormone released into the bloodstream by the thyroid gland in the body.

Thyroxine perform important roles in brain development, heart and digestive functions, bone maintenance, controlling muscle and metabolic rate of the body.

The missing options of the question are:

permissiveness

synergistic effect

antagonism

additive effect

The correct answer is "permissiveness",

In biology, a permissive effect is defined as the effect that one hormone has enabling that a second hormone to exert its biological activity. Thyroid hormone has a permissive effect on the hormone epinephrine, by synthesizing ß adrenergic receptors, it enables the hormone epinephrine binds to them and cause the cells of the bronchioles to dilate.
