1) Describe the process of osmosis

1 answer:

3 0

1. Osmosis is a process which occurs when there is a difference in solute concentration between two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane.

2. Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane. It is also defined as the measure of the tendency of a solution to take in pure solvent by osmosis.

3. The semipermeable membrane limits the diffusion of solutes in the water.

4. In an isotonic solution, the flow of water in and out of the cell is happening at the same rate. ... Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis.

5. Osmosis is basically diffusion with water. ... The most common example of facilitated diffusion is the movement of water across a cell membrane through transmembrane proteins, which requires no energy. They are simply powered by the concentration differences of the molecules between the two sides of the cell membrane.

Howard decides to study the impact that ice cream

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

C. -independent, dependent, intervening

Explanation:

Independent variable is defined as the variable that can be changed during the experiment, dependent variable is the variable which is being tested and whose value depends on independent variable and intervening variable impacts the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent.

So, in the given study, ice cream was an independent variable as it can be changed during study and Howard wants to study its impact, fighting was a dependent variable as it is being tested and the temperature was the intervening variable as it is a cause of independent variable and also impacts the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent.

Hence, the correct option is C. independent, dependent, intervening.

How did you determine the types of cell division for both phases depicted in your model? Explain your answer.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Cell division is a process that makes our skin, tissues, muscles, sex cells etc. It is the building block of our body.

Explanation:

When parents cells ahs been divided into two or more than two daughter cells then it is called division of cells. The division of cells occur as a larger cell. When we talk about eukaryotic cells, these cells divided into two distinct types of the cells, the vegetative cells.

The daughter cells are the identical to the parents cells genetically. There are two types of division such as mitosis and meiosis. When parents cells divides in daughter cells and daughter cells divided further, this process called the cells cycle. The mitosis cell division occur interphase. Meiosis cell division occur in two phase meiosis I and meiosis II.

A solution that has the same number of molecules as the cell is a ___ solution

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Isotonic

Explanation:

A solution is isotonic to a cell if it has the same Concentration of dissolved particles as the cell. Water molecules move in and out of the cell at equal rate, so the cell size remains the same.

The main reason that a flock of geese might fly together in V formation in order to avoid capture. True False

ivolga24 [154]

False. They form a V formation so that it will lower their heart rate and make it easier to go longer distances. And when they are in a V formation, it results in wind resistance.

How does the ribosome know which protein to make?

bonufazy [111]

<span>Messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules are long strands of RNA nucleotides that directribosomes to make proteins. They travel from the nucleus to the ribosome. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules make up part of the ribosomes of the cell in the cytoplasm. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules transport amino acids to the ribosomes.</span>
