The net movements of molecules of gasses and particles from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration based on diffusion gradients  without a separating medium is called Diffusion.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from the region from a region of higher water  potential to that of lower water potential across a separating medium of semipermeable membrane.

Because of exposure of the lettuce to sunlight, there is rapid diffusion of water  molecules from the cells of the lettuce on the sunny day than into the cells from the environment. Because the turgor pressure has dropped to zero, so water molecules diffuse from the region of higher water potential (the cells of the lettuce) to region of lower (sounding air). This results to shrinking of the cells, called witting.

However, as she waters the lettuce, water molecules diffuses into   the cell and move up the cells through osmosis, the  water  molecules makes the lettuce cells turgid. The turgor pressure has returned to normal . This  explains the firmness.

Water diffuses into the vacuole which has capacity to store water. The presence of water increases vacuole's volume which expands through osmosis, and therefore changes it shape. The changes in shape leads to firmness.

Ms. Milly can keep the stalk of the lettuce in flower pot filled with water. The  continues to keep the cells of the lettuce turgid, by replacing the lost water  through diffusion into the sunny environment to prevent wilting,

H. False.

Explanation:

Diploid organism has almost double the cells than in the Haploid. The number of chromosomes in each diploid cell are also nearly twice the other cells. Diploid is any cell or organism which has two sets of chromosomes. Gamete is considered as the sex cell. It has ability to pair up and formulate the reproductive cells.

The 'G' in the universal gravitation formula
shutvik [7]

b. Gravitational constant

Explanation:

G in the universal gravitation formula represents the gravitation constant. It's value is  2.071×10⁻⁴³ s²⋅m⁻¹⋅kg⁻¹.

  • The law of universal gravitation states that "the gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating them".

Mathematically, the law is expressed as:

            F = G\frac{m_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

Where F is the gravitational force

            G is the gravitational constant

            r is the distance

            m is the mass 1 and 2 bodies
