Well, the cell membrane is full of a bunch of little holes. Sort of like a coffee filter.
What does a coffee filter do? Well, you put the coffee in it and run water through it. Then what?
The water is small enough to pass through the filter and bring some of the coffee with it. But the coffee grains are too big to pass through the filter. If we really wanted the coffee grains to get through the filter, we could force them through. Do you want chunks in your coffee? Eww.
Now the cell membrane is the same way, the little things (water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, sugar) are all small enough to fit through the tiny holes in the cell membrane. This is called, "Passive Transport". Because the things can passively float their way in and out of the cell.
Now some other things are too big to fit through, so to make them fit, the cell has to use energy to open itself a little bit more to let them in. This is called, "Active Transport". Because the cell needs to be active and use energy to let those things in.
<span>Now Osmosis is the transfer of water and salts (basically) throughout the cell.
Both Salt and Water are small enough to fit through the Cell Membrane using "Passive Transport".
I've posted this same response earlier, and it is my writing.</span>
Answer:
20 chromosomes
Explanation:
Mitosis is a kind of cell division that results in daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It involves stages including Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. In prophase, the Chromatin condenses into Chromosomes.
In Anaphase stage, the 10 chromosomes as mentioned in the question divides into opposite poles of the cell. One individual chromosome contains two sister chromatids, which actually separates in the Anaphase stage. Hence, at the end of the Anaphase stage, there will be 10 chromatids each at opposite poles of the cell. Each chromatid at this stage is considered a chromosome.
Hence, a cell with 10 chromosomes will contain 20 chromosomes (10+10 chromatids on each pole) in the Anaphase stage just before the cell divides into two in a process called CYTOKINESIS.

The correct answer is: b. phosphorus and nitrogen
Plants use organic matter nutrients that produce by their own and thus we classified them as autotrophs (or self-feeders). But, they also require inorganic nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus and often one of them is special nutrient needed for growth and because of that called the limiting nutrient.
The fertilizers that people apply to farm fields, gardens and lawns contain phosphorus and nitrogen.
Answer: The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion.
