What is it called when molecules move from low to high concentration across plasma membranes?

Biology
1 answer:
Semenov [28]3 years ago

Answer: Osmosis

Explanation: Osmosis is a process in which water move from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. For osmosis to occur, it must be through a selectively permeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Alex

Answer: The most accepted guess is: By bamboo rafts.

Explanation:

There are two hypotheses.

The first is that they arrived on Flores as Homo erectus and then evolved to Homo floresiensis. The second is that they were already Homo floresiensis when they arrived. This second one is the more accepted hypothesis because it would take organization and language to accomplish this technological water transportation feat. Homo erectus is not known to have developed speech.

Now at the time this transport was estimated to have happened, 100000 years ago, the islands of Komodo and Flores were joined and visible from the mainland. Together they constituted a 19km wide straight visible that could be easily seen from the mainland. The Homo floresiensis tribes built bamboo rafts, or possibly some other floating apparatus made if wood, and sailed there. The islands then progressively drifted apart, isolating them.

PS: It is important to note that some things may have drove them there such as famine, violence, etc.

Ponds, lakes, streams and rivers are all part of what kind of ecosystem
kicyunya [14]

Marine ecosystems cover approximately 71% of the Earth's surface and contain approximately 97% of the planet's water. They generate 32% of the world's net primary production. They are distinguished from freshwater ecosystems by the presence of dissolved compounds, especially salts, in the water. Approximately 85% of the dissolved materials in seawater are sodium and chlorine. Seawater has an average salinity of 35 parts per thousand(ppt) of water. Actual salinity varies among different marine ecosystems.

A classification of marine habitats.

Marine ecosystems can be divided into many zones depending upon water depth and shoreline features. The oceanic zone is the vast open part of the ocean where animals such as whales, sharks, and tuna live. The benthic zone consists of substrates below water where many invertebrates live. The intertidal zone is the area between high and low tides; in this figure it is termed the littoral zone. Other near-shore (neritic) zones can include estuaries, salt marshes, coral reefs, lagoons and mangrove swamps. In the deep water, hydrothermal vents may occur where chemosynthetic sulfur bacteria form the base of the food web.

Classes of organisms found in marine ecosystems include brown algae, dinoflagellates, corals, cephalopods, echinoderms, and sharks. Fishes caught in marine ecosystems are the biggest source of commercial foods obtained from wild populations.

Environmental problems concerning marine ecosystems include unsustainable exploitation of marine resources (for example overfishing of certain species), marine pollution,climate change, and building on coastal areas.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

This could mean that the pink ball had a little bit more air in it than the blue ball. They could also have been dropped at the same time, but they were dropped on a hill, and the pink one landed first at the top of the hill, and the blue one landed second at the bottom of the hill.

What are isoma and isotopes. what is the difference and similarity? What are their roles?
adell [148]
The chemical nature of an atom, that is , the chemical properties of a specific element, is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus<span>. This number of protons is called the </span>atomic number<span>. The mass of the atom, its atomic mass, depends upon both the number of protons and upon the number of neutrons present in the nucleus (remember that the mass of an electron is so small that it is simply ignored for the purpose of establishing the atomic mass).</span>The difference between atoms, ions and isotopes is the number of subatomic particles.<span> An atom is the basic building block of matter, the smallest molecule of an element that exists and that cannot be chemically divided by ordinary means. Each atom is comprised of protons, neutrons and electrons. In ions, the number of electrons differs, and in isotopes.
