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

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.

Select all the correct labels on the image.
valkas [14]

The diagram is not given in the question, so the diagram is attached below.

Answer:

chloroplast, thylakoid  space

Explanation:

The photosynthesis process is categorized in two steps light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.

In light-dependent reaction, chlorophyll absorbs one photon and loses one electron. This initiates the flow of electrons down an electron transport chain and result into reduction of NADP to NADPH.

Along with this, it creates a proton gradient or concentration across the chloroplast membrane and into the thylakoid  space. The proton concentration or energy gradient is then used by ATP synthase for the synthesis of ATP and cellular respiration.

Hence, the correct answer is chloroplast and thylakoid  space

Sunlight is the main change! sun light cannot penetrate into the deep layers of the ocean and availability of oxygen is also low there. this causes the considerable amount of organisms to live in the upper layers of the ocean and we can only observe decomposing organisms in the deeper layers!

Which type of natural selection occurs when an intermediate phenotype is favored?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.

Explanation:

There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.

A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.

A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.

The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Penguins in general are distributed close to each other to be able to withstand the extreme cold, characteristic of the ecosystems they inhabit. They also group together to incubate their eggs.

They perform a series of coordinated movements that help them fight low temperatures, being careful to drop the egg.
