which of a-d below is an example of diffusion, osmosis, or neither? Explain your answer in each case. a Water moves from a dilute solution in the soil into the cells in a plant's roots. b Saliva flows out of the salivary glands into your mouth. c spot of blue ink dropped into a glass of still water quickly colours all the water blue. d Carbon dioxide goes into a plant's leaves when it is photosynthesising.​

a. osmosis (water must pass through the cell membrane so it is osmosis) b. neither (the saliva is secreted) c. diffusion (the dye doesn't pass through a membrane) d. diffusion"

Explanation:

I'm not sure, but I hope it helps.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
