The popliteus muscle is a little muscle that extends the knee and form muscle the floor of the popliteal fossa. It is part of deep posterior leg muscles, that rotate laterally tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus.

The popliteus muscle extends to the knee joint. It is formed from the femur and the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, and also extend to the proximal tibia.

The popliteus muscle help to function in an gait cycle by causing the flexion of the extended (“locked”) knee.

PLEASE HELP ASAP IN A RUSH!!!!What do osmosis and diffusion have in common? A. Both are the net movement of randomly moving mole
NARA [144]

The right answer is A.

Osmosis is a phenomenon that considers only the exchanges between two liquid solutions of different concentrations in liquid phases separated by a semi-permeable wall. Osmosis is a phenomenon of diffusion of matter, demonstrated when solvent molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions whose solute concentrations are different; the overall transfer of solvent is then from the least concentrated solution (hypotonic medium) to the most concentrated solution (hypertonic medium) to equilibrium (isotonic media).

The diffusion of matter, or chemical diffusion, refers to the natural tendency of a system to render uniform the chemical potential of each of the chemical species it contains.

Chemical diffusion is an irreversible transport phenomenon that tends to homogenize the composition of the medium.

Weather can change from day to day, but _____ does not
geniusboy [140]
"climate" does not.

Usually if we comparing "weather" condition with another word, the word would be "climate". Weather is the day to day atmospheric condition, but climate is the overall weather of an area throughout long period of time, such as a decade.

Using it in a sentence, we can see the difference. We would say "the weather today is nice", but we wouldn't say "the climate today is nice". "today" is a short period of time.
