Answer:

Explanation:

A raft is a flat-bottom structure made of planks or barrels that has the capacity to float on water. While an ecosystem is a community of living organisms (biotic) interacting with there non-living (abiotic) environment as an ecological unit.

A raft by design cannot withstand much load because of it's size or can only accommodate only one type of organism at a time but an ecosystem generally accommodates a community (different organisms), hence the carrying capacity of an ecosystem is way larger than that of a raft and indeed a raft can be part of an ecosystem at some point

Answer:

1) abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules (monomers)

2) joining of monomers into polymers

3) packaging of these molecules into protobionts, droplets with membranes that maintained a distinct internal chemistry

4) origin of self-replicating molecules that eventually made inheritance possible

If a red blood cell is placed in distilled water, which would have a higher concentration of water molecules, the distilled wate

mixas84 [53]

1. The distilled water has a higher concentration of water molecules.

Distilled water only contained water molecules, nothing else is dissolved in it. It has the highest water concentration no matter what substances.

2. The red blood cells has less water potential.

Water potential is the tendency of the water molecules to move from one region to another. Due to the rule of osmosis, water molecule is more likely to move from the distill water to the cell, from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration.

Therefore, red blood cell has less water potential.

3. Distilled water is a hypotonic solution.

When the solution causes the water to flow away to other regions, they're said to be hypotonic. There water potential is higher than the other side. Therefore, the answer is distilled water.
