Elements can be identified by their atomic number.
Answer:
Diffusion is the process in which molecules and ions move from a region of high concentration to low concentration. Its also how cells transport waste out of the cell and nutrients into it hence being very crucial. Diffusion also occurs without the expenditure of extra energy using a procedure known as passive transport. (Osmosis is a form of diffusion but deals with water exclusively).
Examples of where diffusion is important;
In the intestines - Digested food molecules such as amino acids and glucose move down the concentration gradient from the intestine into the bloodstream. Wastes such as carbon dioxide or urea travel via diffusion from the body's cells to the bloodstream.
Osmosis plays a major role in living organisms. It aids in the transportation of nutrients from cells to cells and also helps to remove the waste's metabolic products from the cell. The purification of blood in the kidneys is also dependent on the process of osmosis.
Answer:
In prokaryotes (organisms without a nuclear membrane), DNA undergoes replication and transcription and RNA undergoes translation in an undivided compartment. All three processes can occur simultaneously.
In eukaryotes (organisms with a nuclear membrane), DNA undergoes replication and transcription in the nucleus, and proteins are made in the cytoplasm. RNA must therefore travel across the nuclear membrane before it undergoes translation. This means that transcription and translation are physically separated. The primary transcript, heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), undergoes extensive post-transcriptional processing to make a messenger RNA (mRNA)molecule that can pass through the nuclear membrane.
