Oxygen, Carbon dioxide and other small uncharged molecules can move through the cell membrane through a method called osmosis
osmosis is when there is a semipermeable membrane and molecules pass through it, where there is less concentration of molecules.
<h2>Movement of Continents</h2>
Explanation:
- Alfred Wegener was a German astronomer who proposed the "continental drift" hypothesis in 1910.
- Alfred Wegener was not able to explain the movements of the continent in how and in which way they are moved.
- He failed in an attempt to explain with the use of tides made the theory undefinable fully.
- Also, the major problem with Wegener's theory of Continental Drift was that there was no proper explanation of a mechanism.

Answer:</h2>
0.126m
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;
F = k x e -------------------(i)
Where;
k = the spring's constant.
From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e
F = W -----------------------(ii)
<em>But;</em>
W = m x g;
where;
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]
<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>
F = W = m x g
<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>
F = k x e
m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)
<em>From the question;</em>
m = m1 = 3.5kg
k = 278N/m
<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
3.5 x 10 = 278 x e
35 = 278e
<em>Now solve for e;</em>
e = 35/278
e = 0.126m
Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
