Answers

Osmosis is the movement of water and is always the movement in the membrane. Diffusion does not need a membrane to make molecules and Diffusion is the movement of molecules. they do not require energy, they both move from a high concentrate to a low concentrate, and they both occur in plants and animals.

Answer from: jude3412

Osmosis and diffusion are alike in a way that in both motion of molecules/water is in the same direction as of the concentration gradient.None of the above process needs ATP as energy.They are passive process.ExplanationOsmosis is the process of movement of water from high concentration of water to low concentration of water across the permeable membrane.Diffusion is the transport of materials from high concentration to low concentration.Concentration gradient means the Movement always from higher to lower concentration of materials.So in the osmosis and diffusion movement is always from high to low concentration.

i am positive it is c. condensing but i may be wrong

Answer from: Quest

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
