In a beaker a compartment a has 25% glucose solution and compartment b has 5% glu glucose solution. The membrane is permeable to

the solvent but not to the solute. What transport mechanism causes water to move from a to

Answer is: osmotic pressure.

The direction of osmotic pressure is always from the side with the lower concentration of solute to the side with the higher concentration, in this example, from solution b (5% glucose) to solution b (25% glucose).

Osmotic pressure, alongside the vapor pressure depression, freezing point depression and the boiling point elevation are the colligative properties od solution.

What happens when the concentration of water inside a cell is lower than the concentration of water outside the cell?
adell [148]

Answer:

Water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium

Explanation:

In the hypotonic environment, the concentration of water is greater outside the cell and the concentration of solute is higher inside. A solution outside of a cell has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol.

If concentrations of dissolved solutes are greater inside the cell, the concentration of water inside the cell is correspondingly lower. As a result, water outside the cell will flow inwards by osmosis to attain equilibrium.

Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one through a semipermeable membrane.

To show the electron configuration for an atom, what is the advantage of using an orbital notation compared to a dot structure?
stich3 [128]
The advantage of using an orbital notation is that it shows the electron distribution in shells. 

<span>Dot structures only show the valence electrons of an atom which are the electrons found at the outermost shell. The orbital notation gives a more detailed depiction of the electrons in each shell. This is most advantageous for atoms that have special cases. </span>

<span>Some examples of atoms that have special electronic configurations are copper and chromium. For example, copper is more stable when the 3d subshell is completely filled. This leaves the 4s subshell with only 1 electron. Chromium is also more stable when its s and d subshells are only half full. The orbital notation depicts these special cases, whereas the dot structure does not.</span>
