A bag composed of a semi-permeable membrane containing 1% salt water is placed into a cup with 10% salt water (a higher concentr

ation of salt). Through osmosis, water will move ( out of/into) the bad and the bad will (expand/shrink).

Answer:

Out of, shrink

Explanation:

Water would move outside the cell due to osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of a solvent, water, in this case through a membrane from a region of high concetration to a region with less concentration .

The water molecules would move through the semi-pearmeable membrane from the region of high concentration (the bag) to a region with less concentration (the cup), thus, <u>equalizing the water concentration inside and outside the bag</u>. Since there is a higher concentration of salt outside, water will move out of the bag to equalize the concentration.

The result of this water movement would be an incurred bag or cell, hence, the cell would shrink.

bixtya [17]

Answer: Carolus Linnaeus

Explanation:

The formal system of classification was introduced by a Swiss scientist named Carolus Linnaeus.

He first split living things into a general category called KINGDOM.

- The kingdom is further split into large smaller groups called PHYLUM (for animals) and DIVISION (for plants).

- Each phylum or division is broken down into CLASSES.

- Each class is broken down into ORDERS

- Orders into FAMILIES,

- Families into GENUS

- Genus into SPECIES

Thus, the linnaean system of classification from highest (most general category) to the lowest level is as follows: Kingdom --> phylum/division --> class --> order --> family --> genus --> species.

Some materials can move across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient by
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Molecules which move against the concentration gradient across the cell membrane employ the mechanism of active transportation.

Explanation:

Normally, permitted molecules moves across the cell membrane of the cell by the process of diffusion and osmosis. This is used when molecules move from hypertonic region to hypotonic region (if ions) and hypotonic to hypertonic (if water). This is a passive transportation which do not require the expense of energy from the cell.

In contrast, when molecules move in or out of the cell against their concentration gradient, that is ions moving from hypotonic region to hypertonic region, they implore the expense of energy in form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the involvement of the membrane carrier proteins. This is called active transport.
