Osmosis is the passive movement of a solvent, for example water, through a semipermeable membrane, such as one of a living cell, into a solution of higher solute concentration than the starting solute con...

Chlorophyll is a pigment molecule produced by plants that they use to absorb light energy (photons), which is needed for the light dependent section of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis makes glucose, the en...

Following a meal, the levels of glucose in the blood will increase. This increase in the level of glucose needs to be controlled, otherwise the levels of glucose will become too high and someone could end...

Chemical reactions occur faster at higher temperatures since at higher temperatures the enzyme is more likely to bump into the substrate more often and with a higher energy than at a lower temperature. Th...

Similarities:Both processes are passive (do not require energy)In both processes molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration and therefore down a concentration gradient.Differen...
