Biology

Answer:

In biology, osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane (e.g. cell membrane) from an area of higher to an area of lower water potential. Other definitions of osmosis are as follows:

The process of a solvent diffusing through a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration

The tendency of water to flow from a hypotonic solution (low concentration of dissolved substances) to hypertonic solution (higher concentration of dissolved substances) across a semipermeable membrane

In chemistry, osmosis is defined similarly. It is the passage of a pure solvent from a solution of lesser to one of greater concentration of solutes when the two solutions are separated by a membrane that selectively prevents the passage of solute molecules while allows the solvent molecules to pass through.

Answer:

B !

Explanation:

I'm basing this off of a lesson I took two years ago, but the answer is B! The interior of Earth is rumored to be filled with magma as a way to have convection currents in itself, and to move the tectonic plates/ create the tectonic plates, if I remember correctly.

If i'm wrong I can still prove why it's not the other choices.

It's not A becuase when rock gets hotter, it rises, and when it cools, it sinks.

it's not C becuase it said "interior of the planet", which it may be referencing somewhere having to do to below the crust. as well, you need to cool rocks as to make it solid, not heated up rocks. but even then, mountains are made by the plates.

it's not D becuase glaciers are affected by climate change and occurrences the biosphere, not the interior of the planet.

How does the energy move between two systems
notsponge [240]
Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat. If there is a temperature difference between two systems heat will always find a way to transfer from the higher to lower system
