How does a selectively permeable membrane affect diffusion?

Biology
1 answer:
7nadin3 [17]3 years ago
4 0

In this system, the solute cannot pass through the selectively permeable membrane. A principle of diffusion is that the molecules move around and will spread evenly throughout the medium if they can. However, only the material capable of getting through the membrane will diffuse through it

How does the virus use a host cell to make copies of itself
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

I wasn't quite sure what virus you were referring to in your question, but here's a general answer: Viruses use their host cells' machinery to replicate themselves.

If they are a specific type of virus known as a retrovirus, they have the ability to use the host cells' enzymes to change the RNA contained within the virus into DNA (via some type of replication I suppose).

In other cases, if they contain DNA instead of RNA (that is, the virus), they can use the host cell's machinery to create RNA via enzymes involved in transcription and/or they can incorporate that DNA into the host cell's DNA. This is part of a type of viral replication cycle known as the lysogenic cycle.

In another type of viral replication cycle known as the lytic cycle, the virus simply has itself and its genome duplicated until the host cell bursts, releasing the viral material. Here, again, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to replicate itself.

Which statement explains how convection currents affect the movement of plates? Gravity pulls one edge of a plate down into the
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Convection currents direct the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle.

In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading.

So, I would say the answer is:

As convection currents drift across the oceans,

they bring the pieces of Earth's crust with them as the supercontinent breaks apart.

Glad I could help, hv a good day :)
