Elizabeth is conducting an investigation to study how molecules are transported into and out of a cell. Elizabeth builds a model

of a cell using a U-shaped tube. A barrier, which is permeable to water, but not sugar, is placed on the bottom of the tube to model the cell membrane. Elizabeth adds two different solutions to each side of the tube. The solute in each solution is sugar and the solvent is water. The initial levels of solution in Side A and Side B are equal. The concentration of sugar in Side A is lower than the concentration of sugar in Side B.
What is Elizabeth likely to observe?

A. Water molecules will move from Side A to Side B. The solution level on Side A will fall and the solution level on Side B will rise.
B. Water molecules will move from Side B to Side A. The solution level on Side A will rise and the solution level on Side B will fall.
C. Sugar molecules will move from Side A to Side B. The solution level on Side A will fall and the solution level on Side B will rise.
D. Sugar molecules will move from Side B to Side A. The solution level on Side A will rise and the solution level on Side B will fall.

The correct answer is: A. Water molecules will move from Side A to Side B. The solution level on Side A will fall and the solution level on Side B will rise.

Because the barrier is permeable only for water, water will move via osmosis-down the gradient (into a area of higher solute concentration). Water tends to equalize the solute concentrations of the side A with the solute concentrations of the side B.

Domestic horses have a greater diversity of coat colors than that of wild horses. The process that led to a greater diversity of
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

In this case, there are two varieties of horses: Domestic horses that are raised and bred by humans and Wild horses that lives in the wild. The issue of varieties in coat colour of domestic horses can be explained as what occured by selective breeding, also known as artificial selection which is a technique by which humans develop new offsprings with desirable and suitable characteristics. These breeders select two parents that possess beneficial phenotypic traits to mate, producing offsprings with those desired traits such as strength and also for coat colour as stated.

Since broth cultures of bacteria can reach high numbers of cells quickly, a series of answer experiments (one word) is required
nexus9112 [7]

The answer is Dilutions

Bacterial culture is one of the laboratory examination that could be used to determine if a specimen contain bacteria. But it will hard to count the colony if the bacteria count is too high.

That is why the specimen of the culture need to be diluted to reduce the bacteria count of the specimen, so the result will be easier to count. The unit used would be colony forming unit(CFU) per milliliter.

The major difference between starch, glycogen, and cellulose and their adjacent glucose subunits is the ________.
sveta [45]

Answer:

<u>Starch</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Cellulose </u>is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Glycogen</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.

Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.

Cellulose is the storage form of glucose in plants and leaves.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: 2. endospores

An endospore is a structure that remains in the dormant state in some bacteria. The term endospore refers to the seed like form, but actually it is not a true spore. Endospore allows bacteria to restrain it's biological activities like obtaining food and reproduction under harsh environmental conditions like freezing and drying. Under favorable conditions these endospores reactivates. The endospore consist of bacterial DNA and ribosome.

Explain how the reproductive strategies of mosquitoes and elephants help them overcome the natural threats of their environments
Gnoma [55]

Mosquitos are an example of organisms with r-reproduction strategy. This means that they tend to overproduce, have many offspring , but do not provide care for them. This happens because those organisms  live in unstable, unpredictable environments, so rapid reproducing is very important. R strategy helps them produce a huge number of offspring, because at least some of them will survive to reproduce.  

Elephants are an example of organisms with k-reproduction strategy, meaning that they have few offspring at a time, take care of them and have a long live span. These organisms occupy more stable environments, usually are stronger, better protected and more energy efficient. Their reproductive strategy is to grow slowly and to produce offspring with high probability of survival.
