Answer:Diffusion is important to cells because it allows them to gain the useful substances they require to obtain energy and grow.

Explanation:Diffusion is important to cells because it allows them to gain the useful substances they require to obtain energy and grow, and lets them get rid of waste products. This table shows examples of substances required by cell and associated waste products.

Oxygen and glucose react to form carbon dioxide and water along with ATP (a source of energy) in the process of aerobic respiration. Therefore, oxygen and glucose must be taken up by the cell, and typically the concentration of these molecules outside the cell is greater than inside. Therefore, the overall net movement of these molecules will be down the concentration gradient, and they will move into the cell via diffusion. Similarly, the carbon dioxide produced is a waste product and moves out of the cell, again via diffusion down its concentration gradient.

Answer:

The hydrogen bonds of water expand during the freezing process, creating more volume and decreasing density of the ice.

Explanation:

Water has awesome properties that distinguishes it among all other substances, many of which is attributed to its hydrogen bonding. Liquid water contains hydrogen bonds that holds tightly its molecules. However, when this liquid water freezes, the hydrogen bonds between its molecules break and expands. This creates space for the water molecules to occupy as it turns to its solid form (ice).

This is the case of this ice-covered lake. The ice, when it sinks, causes the liquid water beneath to freeze because the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules are being expanded enabling the molecules to occupy more space (volume) and make it less dense than liquid water (decreased density).
