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.

For the same insolation, order these regions from "highest absorption to lowest."
son4ous [18]
Insolation is the amount of solar energy that is incident on the surface of the earth. For the same insolation, water bodies tend to absorb the most heat as water has a high heat capacity and so do grasslands. Areas such as desserts and glaciers do not absorb high amounts of insolation due to which these areas exhibit extreme, inhabitable environments. The order becomes:
The Atlantic Ocean
A marshy wetland
Nevada desert
Polar ice caps

A student conducts a mark-recapture experiment to estimate the population size of sunfish in a small pond near her home. In the
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

348.75 individuals, however you may need to round

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to think of the proportions you are given. Since she marked 45 fish in the beginning, and assuming none died, you can assume that there are 45 marked fish in the whole population. Therefore, when she takes the sample of 62 and sees that there are 8 marked fish, a good strategy is to take that proportion and use it to solve for the population like so:

8(marked fish in sample)/62(total in sample) = 45(total marked fish)/x(total population. Next cross-multiply 45 * 62 and 8 * x and set them equal to each other, getting you to the equation 2790 = 8x. Finally, to find x, the population size, divide 2790 by 8 to get x= 348.75.

Sometimes a suffix functions independently as a medical term. give two examples of suffixes that are also terms, and explain how
aleksandrvk [35]

The answer would be –genesis and –gram. 

Suffixes that have a Greek or Latin roots and that are used to combine with other words or parts of words are not called suffixes, these kind of affixes are called combining forms.


One combing form is –genesis.


As an independent medical term, this means the origin of something in medicine. When a doctor talks about the genesis of a contagion, he or she is speaking of the point of origin of a contagion.


-genesis used as a suffix, can indicate a particular process or pathogen. Example is parthenogenesis.


One combining form is –gram.


As an independent medical term, gram indicated the metric weight of an object as a unit of mass. If nurses talk about how much serving of food, they are talking about it in grams.

-gram signifies something written down. Example is pictogram.
