Answer:
The correct answer is: a) osmosis.
Explanation:
- Osmosis can be defined as the physiological process by which molecules (in this case water) tend to move from a region where their concentration is high to a region where their concentration is low by the process of diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane.
- Active Transport can be defined as the physiological process in which molecules are forced to move from a region where their concentration is low to a region where their concentration is high across a semi-permeable membrane. This process requires the expenditure of energy and is usually mediated by carrier proteins or integral membrane proteins which span across the plasma membrane.
- Filtration can be defined as the physical process by which insoluble solute molecules are separated from the solvent molecules by the help of a porous filter paper which allows the solvent molecules to pass through it but restricts the insoluble solute molecules from passing through it.
- Diffusion can be defined as the physical process by which molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to a region where its concentration is low. However, unlike osmosis, there is no semi-permeable membrane which separates the two regions.
Solar energy reflects off the Moon at night, causing evaporation.
Answer:
structure; function
Explanation:
Cells are the fundamental unit of life. The plasma membrane consist of both lipids and protein. The main structure of the membrane is the phospholipid bilayer. the plasma membrane controls the movement of various molecules such as water, ion, amino acids, sugar into and outside the cell. The surface area of the membrane also regulates the exchange of membrane between the cell and its surroundings.
Answer: Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary biochemical reactions.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis requires the products of respiration , while respiration requires the products of photosynthesis.
