The movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is osmosis, I believe.

The movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration is known as osmosis. Diffusion is also one such mechanism in which particles move from high concentration to low concentration. But, there is a difference between diffusion and osmosis. In osmosis, the movement occurs through a semi-permeable membrane. In cells, plasma membrane acts as semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis is a very important phenomenon to sustain life in biological systems because it helps in maintaining homeostasis. Homeostasis on the other hand is a process which aids living beings in regulating their daily activities so as to maintain stable internal environment. For example, if a cell becomes dehydrated (flaccid cell), then it can be easily rehydrated by keeping it in an environment full of water i.e. a hypertonic solution . The water will enter into the cell by osmosis thereby making it rehydrated again.

The distant ancestors of tigers may have had bodies without stripes. Use the theory of natural selection to explain how tigers m
Degger [83]

The tigers have stripes because it is advantageous for them because they are an ambush predator and need good camouflage. The stripes are excellent camouflage for places that are shady, so the tiger can easily get close to its prey and attack it.

There's a very big possibility that the distant ancestors of the tigers did not had stripes. The reasons for that are different environment, but also that the stripes are actually a very rare type of pattern among the felidae family members.

As the environment started changing, the tigers needed to adapt to it, so they also needed a different camouflage. As some tigers in the population started to develop stripes, they were better hunters, thus were stronger, and seen as suitable mates for the females, as it would provide an offspring with the advantage that the male tiger has. Through this selection in the breeding process of mates that have advantageous camouflage patterns, the stripes were becoming more and more present, to the point where they totally pushed aside and eliminated the previously dominant camouflage pattern.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Since bacteria are prokaryotes, they have no nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. The outside of a bacterial cell is protected by a structure called a capsule. The cell wall provides a rigid structure that gives the cell its shape. The cell membrane helps to transport ions, nutrients, and waste. The plasmids allow DNA to be transferred from one bacterium to another.

<em>The bacteria are microscopic organisms that are generally classified as prokaryotes. The prokaryotes lack nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, unlike the eukaryotes. The bacteria cells are enclosed in a protective structure known as the capsule. Immediately after the capsule is the cell wall whose components vary depending on whether the bacteria is Gram-positive or negative. </em>

<em>Towards the innermost part of the cell, after the cell wall is the cell membrane. It acts as a channel for the transport of materials in and out of the cell. Some bacteria cells have short, circular, extrachromosomal DNA known as plasmids which can be transferred from one cell to another.</em>

g100num [7]
The vegetation type is called STEPPE. Steppe refers to the vegetation type in which there are only grassland plains; no trees exist in this eco-region. The countries of the world where this type of vegetation can be found include Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, etc. The steppe biome is a cold, dry grassland that exist in all the continents of the world except in Australia and Antarctica. Humidity level is usually very low in this biome because they are usually located far away from the ocean.
