Answer:

Osmosis is the process of having water pass from a low concentration medium to a high concentration one, given that the barrier (membrane) is semi-permeable.

Explanation

Cells encounter osmosis due to their semi-permeable membranes. Water can flow past cell membranes. A given cell placed into distilled water will have some water flow into it, causing it to burst. A given cell placed in a very concentrated water will have some water flow out of it, causing it to shrivel. A given cell placed in a solution with the same concentration of minerals as the cell will have an equilibrium of water flowing in and out. This is the case of IV (Intravenous therapy) when we want to deliver substances into a human blood. We want to make sure the liquid delivered is as concentrated as the blood to avoid cell shriveling or bursting.

This picture above sums up the 3 cases cells could face in a solution.

Good luck!

If there are two weights on the scale, one 1.5m from the fulcrum weighing 1.7 kg, and the second 1.2m from the fulcrum, what mus
kykrilka [37]

The fulcrum is the point in any mechanical device where the moment due to weights is zero.

(Weight 1 x distance 1) - (weight 2 x distance 2) = 0

(1.7 Kg x 1.5 m ) - (weight 2 x 1.2 m) = 0

weight 2 = (1.7 Kg x 1.5 m ) / 1.2 m

= 2.1 Kg

Why are methane hydrates so difficult to extract from the seafloor?
AlexFokin [52]

The warmer the water, the larger the water depths must be to form the hydrate. Deep inside he sea floor, however, the temperature is too high for the formation of methane hydrates because of the Earth's internal heat. Oxidation Many bacteria use methane to provide energy for their metabolism.
