define and describe osmosis​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Movement of a solvent (such as water) into a solution with a higher solvent concentration by means of a semi-permeable membrane (as from a live cell), which tends to equal solute concentrations in the membrane on both sides.

Explanation:

Osmosis, the spontaneous transition, distribution, or diffusion of water and other solvents over a semipermeable membrane. In 1877, a German physiologist, Wilhelm Pfeffer, researched the process, which is important in biology.

Osmosis is the passage of water down its concentration gradient, across a semi-permeable membrane. An everyday example is a plastic wrap in your kitchen: it allows air and water vapor to move across it, but no water or food. The membranes of cells are semi-permeable, too.

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. Scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. However, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. These global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. In Switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. Chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. In some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. If these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. This would be an example of ________.

A. the amount of cropland available increases
B. people discover more efficient ways to grow crops
C. people learn to live off less food
D. food costs more because there is less cropland

Answers

Answer:

Food costs more because there is less cropland

Explanation:

The amount of cropland available increases  is the most likely result of converting farmland to urban development. So, the correct option is A.

What is Urban development?

Urban planning is also called city planning, town planning, regional planning or rural planning which is defined as the technical and political process focused on the development and design of land use.

This development involves the transformation of an area into an urban state in various dimensions such as physical, geographical, economic and social through population and land use change. The conversion of farmland to urban development has many effects in terms of food security, reduced agricultural productivity, and agricultural labors.

The amount of cropland available increases  is the most likely result of converting farmland to urban development.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Un tractor tira de un remolque cargado sobre un camino plano libre de fricción, con una fuerza horizontal constante de 440 N. Si la masa total del remolque y su contenido es de 275 kg, ¿Qué aceleración tiene el remolque? Formula a utilizar : Ʃ F = m . A *

Answers

Answer:

1,6 m / s ^ 2

Explanation:

De las leyes de Newton;

Fuerza = masa × aceleración

masa = 275 kg

Fuerza = 440 N

Aceleración = Fuerza / masa

Aceleración = 440N / 275Kg

Aceleración = 1,6 m / s ^ 2

Amphibians are not completely free to live on dry land because they can escape from predators by jumping into the water. their food organisms live in water. they obtain oxygen from water through gills. their reproduction depends on water. their ancestors were fish.

Answers

Answer:

they obtain oxygen from water through gills

Explanation:

Amphibians are a group of organisms renowned for their ability to live on land and water. They include frogs, toads etc. Despite their numerous adaptive features that enable them to survive on land, they can still not live independently of water or aquatic environment.

This is because a stage of the life cycle of most amphibians require water for respiration via their GILLS. Amphibians in their juvenile stage e.g. tadpoles rely on water for them to breathe. Adult amphibians make use of lungs and skin for respiration.

They can be flown over a large expanse of land to obtain geographical information such as the topography of an area,  the distance between two points, the height above sea level, and so on.

Except the UAVs are specially designed and equipped with extra features, they cannot be used to obtain information relating to soil nutrients, soil hydration, or information about plant health on a field.

Grass (that is healthy) looks green because Group of answer choices it emits green light and absorbs other colors. it reflects green light and absorbs other colors. it absorbs green light and emits other colors. it transmits green light and emits other colors.

Answers

Answer:

it reflects green light and absorbs other colors.

Explanation:

The term pigment derives from the Latin pigmentum, which means the substance that produces color.

Pigments provide color to cells and tissues.

In vegetables, we can find different pigments, such as chlorophyll or carotenoids, among others. Plants use these pigments during the photosynthesis process to absorb sunlight and fixate carbon dioxide. Stem, flowers, and other tissue have pigments in their cells that define the organ´s colors.

Pigments are chemical molecules that produce color by the selective absorption of sunlight. Whenever white light meets a pigment, some wavelengths are absorbed by the pigments while others are reflected. The color expressed is the product of the reflection. The reflected spectrum is perceived as color and determined to be the pigment color or the color of an object or organism.

The color that tissue or vegetal organ express will depend on the pigment concentration or the combination of many of them.

The green color is ordinary in most vegetable species. Chlorophyll is responsible for this coloration, present in almost every vegetable species. This pigment absorbs blue and red wavelengths. But they reflect spectrums of green wavelengths, meaning that the expressed color is green in different tones.

A bacterial cell wall is composed of: A) A polysaccharide consisting of a single type of monosaccharide unit and cross-linking oligopeptides. B) A polysaccharide consisting of 2 types of monosaccharide units and cross-linking oligopeptides. C) A polysaccharide consisting of 3 types of monosaccharide units and cross-linking oligopeptides. D) Two different polysaccharides and 1 type of oligopeptide, which are cross-linked.

Answers

Answer:

B) A polysaccharide consisting of 2 types of monosaccharide units and cross-linking oligopeptides.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

Also, a unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

A bacterial cell is made up of peptidoglycan and its main function is to maintain the shape of a cell while preventing it from bursting due to osmotic pressure. Also, the bacterial cell inhibits the passage of larger molecules but allows the free movement (passage) of smaller molecules in the body of a living organism.

Basically, bacterial cell wall comprises a polysaccharide that's typically made up of two (2) types of monosaccharide units and cross-linking oligopeptides.
