Osmosis involves which of the following processes

Biology
2 answers:
hichkok12 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

Osmosis refers to the process of diffusion of water (other solvents) from a region of low-solute concentration to a high solute concentration, through a membrane that is semi-permeable in nature . This solute or solvent transport is generally passive, which means that energy is not required for the osmosis process to take place.

This takes place in order to equalize the concentrations of solute (or solvent) on both the sides of the cell membrane.

Thus, osmosis refers to the movement of water across a cell membrane.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).

Suppose a gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant over the other. An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allel
Trava [24]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A. Two copies of the allele that determines phenotype whenever the allele is present

B. Two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent

C. One copy of the allele that determines phenotype when present and one copy of the other allele

D. One copy of each of two alleles that both contribute equally to determining phenotype

The answer is B.

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel, a Gene comes in two alternative forms called ALLELES. One allele called the DOMINANT ALLELE is capable of masking the phenotypic expression of the other called the RECESSIVE ALLELE. The dominant allele will always express itself whenever it is present. However, a recessive trait will only be expressed when two alleles for recessiveness occur in the gene.

An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allele will have two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent. This means that in that particular gene, the two present alleles will be recessive alleles.

Why cannot a population keep increasing forever in an ecosystem?
Dmitrij [34]
A population cannot continue to increase forever because each population has a carrying capacity, which is the max number of organisms that can live in an environment with the available resources. At some point, each population will hit their carrying capacity when they run out of resources.

In muscles, ATP is generated by glycolysis from two sources of glucose. One source is glucose that is broken down from glycogen
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The answer is B a net 2 ATPs are always generated per glucose regardless of its source

Explanation

Glycogen breaks down in the muscle so as to have enough glucose for muscle contraction and it produces 2ATPs

Glycogen also breaks down in the liver to release enough glucose which gets to the blood stream and is then taken up by other cells. It also produces 2ATPs at the expense of 6ATPs

In 2-3 sentences explain pollination.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat, or light. (I'm sorry this is about Pollution, it should be about Pollination, I misread it sorry,)

Pollination:

Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.
