Million Instructions Per Second is a method of measuring the raw speed of a computer's processor. MIPS measures roughly the number of machine instructions that a computer can execute in one second.

The total number of instructions a computer executes per second is called as its processors speed. 

Maximum the processor's speed minimum the time for execution.

A test to determine processor speed is a benchmark.

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and where most clouds are. That means all weather is in the troposphere. Almost all weather occurs in the Troposphere, basically, the lowest layer that goes up to about 10 - 15 kms.

Appetite is the desire to eat food, sometimes due to hunger. Appetite is triggered by environmental cues such as the smell or taste of food. Appealing foods can stimulate appetite even when hunger is absent.

Osmosis is the process in which water molecules move from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower potential down a water potential gradient across a partially permeable membrane. It doen't requires any additional energy to do this work. 

So, Osmosis is a Passive.

Active and passive transport processes are two ways molecules and other materials move in and out of cells and cross intracellular membranes.

1. Active transport is the movement of molecules or ions against a concentration gradient (from an area of lower to higher concentration), which does not ordinarily occur, so enzymes and energy are required.

2. Passive transport is the movement of molecules or ions from an area of higher to lower concentration. Passive transport occurs because of the entropy of the system, so additional energy isn't required for it to occur.

3. Active transport requires energy to proceed, while passive transport does not require the input of extra energy to occur.
