After a dye diffuses uniformly throughout a glass of water, the dye molecules are no longer moving. True or false?

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is false, liquid molecules continue to move even after the concentration is uniform.

Diffusion happens because there’s a concentration gradient between the dye and the water, therefore dye molecules moves to the water area. But note that this is only the net movement of the molecules, which means, even if more molecules are moving towards water, there are still some dye molecules that are moving in the opposite direction.

So, after the concentration is equal, the motion of the dye molecules does not stop, they still move in random directions, but there’s no net movement instead, as there’s no concentration gradient. Remember molecules are always moving in all directions , it just depends on whether there’s a net movement or not. If there’s no net movement, the amount of molecules moving to each and every direction is always equal.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Lionfish are rapidly consuming many smaller fish species along the coast at depths up to 90 meters.

Explanation:

Lionfish is an invasive species that has been successfully established in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a tropical species that lives mostly in reefs and rocks that provide protection. It <u>i</u><u>nhabits waters from the coast to 50 meters deep. </u>

Because of its high densities in the Atlantic, Lionfish is a promoter of ecological, economic, socio-cultural consequences. They only have a few predators and consume a high diversity of prey items. They produce an ecological imbalance in the trophic chains of the marine ecosystem. When competing with native piscivores, they imbalance the dynamics of fish communities in coral reefs and mangroves. The <u>density of young and herbivores fishes has decreased because of their predation by the lionfish</u><u>.</u> By <u>predating on algae eating fishes</u>, they provoke a sharp increase in algae populations, which produces serious damages in the coral reefs, enhancing their mortality. The main consequences of these damages are marine biodiversity loss, water quality decrease, ecosystem recovery difficulty, and impacts on food provisioning for many other ocean species.

Mendel examined seven characteristics in his pea plants. He crossed two plants with different forms of a trait (like tall plants

Sati [7]

Answer:

dominant

Explanation:

For every trait, there are two types of characters - dominant and recessive which are determined by the combination of the alleles for a given gene.

Each gene has 2 types of alleles- one is the dominant allele which always expresses itself that is in both homozygous and heterozygous conditions whereas the other one is the recessive allele which can only express itself in the homozygous conditions.

In Mendel's experiments when he crossed plants with different traits he observed that in the F1 generation there was always a single trait that was getting expressed and it was the trait that was being coded by the dominant allele.
