Define and describe osmosis​

Biology
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Movement of a solvent (such as water) into a solution with a higher solvent concentration by means of a semi-permeable membrane (as from a live cell), which tends to equal solute concentrations in the membrane on both sides.

Explanation:

Osmosis, the spontaneous transition, distribution, or diffusion of water and other solvents over a semipermeable membrane. In 1877, a German physiologist, Wilhelm Pfeffer, researched the process, which is important in biology.

Osmosis is the passage of water down its concentration gradient, across a semi-permeable membrane. An everyday example is a plastic wrap in your kitchen: it allows air and water vapor to move across it, but no water or food. The membranes of cells are semi-permeable, too.

What have been the four hottest years on record, globally? And how much have global average temperatures climbed since 1850?
Drupady [299]
The year 2016, with a temperature deviation of 0.94°C, is considered to be the hottest year on record. 2015 and 2017 came close in second and third respectively with temperature deviations of 0.9°C and 0.84°C respectively. 2014’s temperature deviation of 0.74°C made a constant rise in global temperatures from 2014 to 2016. Only 2017 recorded the initial fall in temperatures which had been experienced continuously from 2014, spanning through 2015 and 2016. Hope this helped.
