Question

question 16
water pressure that develops in a solution as a result of osmosis into that solution is called ____ pressure.
hydrostatic
barometric
facilitated
osmotic

question 17
diffusion moves
up a concentration gradient.
down a concentration gradient.
equally within a concentration gradient.
all of the above.

question 18
mitosis is subdivided into four phases, including all of the following except
prophase.
anaphase.
metaphase.
karyophase.
telophase.

Explanation:

• For Question 16: Osmotic pressure is the pressure that develops in a solution due to osmosis. Hydrostatic pressure is related to fluid - weight, barometric to atmospheric pressure, and facilitated is related to transport mechanisms not pressure from osmosis.
• For Question 17: Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, i.e., down a concentration gradient.
• For Question 18: Mitosis has four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Karyophase is not one of the standard four phases of mitosis.

Answer:

Question 16: D. osmotic
Question 17: B. down a concentration gradient
Question 18: D. karyophase
