Answer:

a) A beaker filled with 1 liter of deionized water? - water will flow into the bag so its volume will increase. The solution is hypotonic

b) A beaker filled with 1 liter of 10% sucrose solution? - water will flow out of the bag so its volume will reduce. The solution is hypertonic

c) A beaker filled with 1 liter of 2% sucrose solution - the volume of water in the bag will stay the same as the two solutions are in equilibrium. The solution is isotonic

Explanation:

Water moves by osmosis through a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis describes the simple diffusion of water molecules.

Water molecules will move from a high concentration to a low concentration.

If the bag of 2% sucrose solution is placed in a beaker of deionized water, the concentration of water in the deionized water is in the beaker higher than in the bag (because the water in the bag contains 2% sucrose). Therefore, the water in the beaker will move from a high concentration outside the bag to a lower concentration inside the bag
If the bag of 2% sucrose solution is placed in a beaker of 10% sucrose solution, the concentration of water in the bag is higher than in the beaker (because there is more sucrose in the beaker). Therefore, the water in the bag will move from a higher concentration inside the bag to a lower concentration outside the bag.
When the concentration of water is equal, the movment of water molecules reaches an equilibrium and there will be no change in the volume of water in the bag

Populations that experience exponential growth have unlimited sources. A population can not continue to grow

madam [21]

Answer:

Carrying capacity

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is the limit to which a population can grow with the resources (food, water, oxygen, habitat space, etc.) are available to support them. Once they reach the maximum population that the environment can support, they reach their carrying capacity.

Many exonerations are not based on dna evidence, but on the discovery that prosecutors had ignored or _______ evidence.

Lyrx [107]

Many exonerations are not based on DNA evidence, but on the discovery that prosecutors had ignored or TAMPERED evidence. Tampering evidence significantly damages the reputation of the prosecution in this case and since verdicts must be done "beyond reasonable doubt" any doubt will weaken the accusation and might result in a review of the case and subsequently an exoneration.

The outside-in model states that most of Earth's water came from meteorites or comets. What evidence would support this model?

VikaD [51]

According to the Outside-in Model, most of Earth's water arrived after the Earth Formed, from meteorites or comets. This water would have mixed with the material in Earth's upper layers and also come to the surface through volcanic action. More supporting evidence comes from NASA's DAWN space craft launched in 2007, which found evidence of water on ceres and vesta, the two largest objects in the main asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.
