Answer:

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules, from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, through a partially permeable membrane. A dilute solution contains a high concentration of water molecules, while a concentrated solution contains a low concentration of water molecules.

Answer:

Osmosis is a phenomenon where pure water flows from a dilute solution through a semi permeable membrane to a higher concentrated solution. Semi permeable means that the membrane will allow small molecules and ions to pass through it but acts as a barrier to larger molecules or dissolved substances.

Hope this helps!!! :)

What happens to mRNA after it completes transcription?
Nana76 [90]

The correct answer is "C."

mRNA stands for messenger Ribonucleic acid.  The role of mRNA is to carry genetic information for the synthesis of protein from the nucleus after transcription.

After the transcription process is over, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where translation of this information takes place.

The ribosomes are the work bench of the cell. They receive the mRNA with its coded information, read it and translate it and with the help of tRNA (transfer RNA), amino acids are fetched from the cytoplasm and linked together to form the exact protein that was coded for on the mRNA.

What happens to a stimulus after the body receives it?
deff fn [24]

When a stimulus is produced it signifies the production of sensation in the sensory organs. This sensation through the sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue) is sent to the sensory nerve connected to these sense organs. These sensory nerves send nerve impulses through the nerve fiber to the spinal cord. From the spinal cord the nerve impulse is transferred to motor nerves.

The motor nerve then sends response to the stimulus though the same path to the region from which stimulus was received and thus the body responds through muscular activity. Such as removal of heat from the heated object if heated sensations were received.

What type of wave interference would affect the amplitude of a wave?
aev [14]
Wave interference may occur when two waves that are traveling in opposite directions meet. The two waves pass through each other, and this affects their amplitude. Amplitude is the maximum distance the particles of the medium move from their resting positions when a wave passes through.

Who Viewed moving objects from pond water under his microscope and named them “animalcules
MatroZZZ [7]

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek viewed moving objects from pond water under his microscope and named them “animalcules.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was a scientist and the first microscopist to observe protozoa and bacteria. He created microscopes that possess a single high-quality lens of small focal length and isolated tiny animalcules (microbes) from various sources such as pond water, well water and rain water. Through his experiments, he also calculated the sizes of the animalcules.
