Answer:
Osmosis is the process of having water pass from a low concentration medium to a high concentration one, given that the barrier (membrane) is semi-permeable.
Explanation
Cells encounter osmosis due to their semi-permeable membranes. Water can flow past cell membranes. A given cell placed into distilled water will have some water flow into it, causing it to burst. A given cell placed in a very concentrated water will have some water flow out of it, causing it to shrivel. A given cell placed in a solution with the same concentration of minerals as the cell will have an equilibrium of water flowing in and out. This is the case of IV (Intravenous therapy) when we want to deliver substances into a human blood. We want to make sure the liquid delivered is as concentrated as the blood to avoid cell shriveling or bursting.
This picture above sums up the 3 cases cells could face in a solution.
Good luck!
Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. Many areas within the tropical zones are considered biodiversity hotspots and are home to the world's most rare and endangered species.
Answer:
1.543
Explanation:
According to Poiseuille's law, blood flow (Q) is given by:

Where ΔP is the blood pressure difference, μ is the blood viscosity, r is the radius of the blood vessel, and L is the length of the vessel.
During a marathon, the new radii of her blood vessels (r') are

The average radii of her blood vessels increased by a factor of 1.543
Answer:they usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water each hydrogen and oxygen share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom. In general ionic bonds occur between elements that are far apart on the periodic table.
