Answer:

hyperosmotic

Explanation:

Osmosis across a membrane occurs in nature as a result of concentration gradient i.e. difference in the solute concentration. Based on the concentration of solute in a solution which determines the osmotic pressure, a solution can either be hyperosmotic, hypoosmotic or isosmotic.

A hyperosmotic solution is that solution which contains more solute concentration in relation to another solution. In essence, a hyperosmotic solution will have more osmotic pressure than that of the body fluid. This will cause water to flow out of the body into the solution.

Which process transfers heat from inside Earth to its surface? Convection currents in mantle Pulling away of tectonic plates Dra
kondor19780726 [428]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Convection currents in the mantle

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Our current laws of Physics recognize that heat is transferred by one of ...

  • conduction
  • convection
  • radiation.

Radiation is a mechanism for transferring heat through space. That mechanism doesn't really apply inside the "solid" Earth. While a certain amount of heat is transferred by conduction, the rock making up the bulk of the Earth is a poor conductor of heat.

The majority of the heat is transferred by the hot rock physically moving from the center of the earth toward the surface in the process called convection.

True or False: <br><br> The first step in glycogen synthesis is the phosphorylation of glucose.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is True

Explanation:

<u>The first step in glycogen synthesis (glycogenesis) is the phosphorylation of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate</u>, which is catalyzed by hexokinase. [This step is also the first step in the glycolytic pathway]. Glucose-6-phosphate is then isomerized to glucose-1-phosphate by the action of phosphoglucomutase. This glucose-i-phosphate is then converted to glycogen by glycogen synthase.
