Which characteristic makes osmosis different from diffusion?

a. net movement in osmosis is from areas of higher water concentration to areas of lower water concentration. net movement in diffusion occurs from areas of higher solute concentration to areas of lower solute concentration.

b. osmosis occurs through a permeable membrane. diffusion must occur through a semipermeable membrane.

c. osmosis requires facilitation by an energy-carrying molecule, such as atp. diffusion requires no additional energy to move molecules across the concentration gradient.

d. osmosis is used for gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. diffusion is used for water that contains salt or sugar molecules.

In sweet pea, gene c is responsible for color production and gene p is responsible for the purple color pigment. both of them are located on two different loci on different chromosomes. the flowers will be purple only when the plant has the genotypes as c_p_. no color will be produced with genotypes: ccpp, ccpp, ccpp, ccpp. thus, gene c controls the expression of gene p. what pattern of inheritance is exhibited here? a. pleiotropy b. epistasis c. multiple alleles
