Answer:

Simple diffusion

Explanation:

Water  moves from one side to the other in a membrane by osmosis, because it is a small particle, so doesn´t need a carrier to pass trough the membrane, and also, the water moves in favor of the gradient, that means, it moves from one side to another to equilibrate it concentration.

Simple diffusion is a similar process, the difference is that this is used by bigger molecules but not by water.

Hope this info is useful .

The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to simple diffusion. The process of osmosis involves the moment of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane like the cell membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. This process is similar to the process of simple diffusion where the solute particles move across in a similar fashion.

The rate of O2 production by the light reactions varies with the intensity of light because light is required as the energy sour
kupik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Yes, the light reactions also depend upon the Calvin cycle. Calvin cycle refers to a phenomenon that is used by the plants and algae to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into sugar, the food needed by the autotrophs in order to grow. The plants rely upon the Calvin cycle for food and energy.  

In the given case, the rate of oxygen production would get diminish as the rate of ATP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes. Of all the outcomes of the Calvin cycle, ADP and NADP+ are the only ones that get utilized by light reactions.  

The ADP and NADP+ are used up by the light reactions to fuel their reactions. This illustrates that if the rate of ADP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes the production of oxygen by the light reactions also diminishes.

Aneli [31]
When Sarah performed this experiment, she changed the levels of nitrogen in order to observe the changes in the morphological features of the plant.
All of the characteristics of the plant that she observed were dependent on multiple different things, but the level of nitrogen was an independent variable that she was changing at her will.
