Explain the effects of osmosis on cells and tissues:

Biology
1 answer:
viva [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

In explanation.

Explanation:

Effect of osmosis on cells:

-Osmosis is the movement of water across a cell membrane. Cells use osmosis to maintain concentration equilibrium (the concentrations of solute inside and outside the cell are equal). Changing the amount of water allows the cells to achieve equilibrium.

Effects of osmosis on tissues:

-Red blood cells placed in a solution with a higher water concentration compared to their contents (eg pure water) will gain water by osmosis, swell up, and burst. Water will diffuse from a higher water concentration outside the cell to a lower water concentration inside the cell.

Hope this helps.

Which level of biodiversity includes species richness and evenness?
Novay_Z [31]
The answer is:

Community Diversity.

Reason Why: Here is an example, say you have 2 communities, community 1 is A, and community 2 is B, Communities A and B contain 5 tree species, However because community B has greater species evenness it has greater species diversity.
Community A is dominated by one of its 5 species and so has lower species diversity than.....community B, which has the same 5 species but in equal proportion.

Richness- Number of Species
Evenness-Relative abundance.

Hope This Helped!

The diagram shows a bacterial cell dividing. What is an ADVANTAGE of this type of reproduction?
Naddika [18.5K]
(Sorry if this is late)

The answer to this is B because it is the only answer choice that is true.

This is actually a quick process, making A incorrect.

C is incorrect because there are no different genes to combine with, since there is only ONE parent cell.

D is incorrect because the offspring are clones. They haven't adapted at all.

Have an awesome day! :)
