A semi permeable bag (permeable to water but not to sucrose) contains a 2 % sucrose solution.

Biology
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago
7 0

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 <u>hypotonic</u>

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 <u>hypertonic</u>

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 <u>isotonic</u>

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

Essay Frankenstein predictions
atroni [7]

Answer:

The monster in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein lurches into life as big as a man but as ignorant as a newborn. He can’t read, speak, or understand the rudiments of human interaction. When he stumbles upon the cottagers, however, he picks up language by observing them and studying their speech. It is this acquisition of language, along with the eloquence it brings, that turns the monster from a mysterious nightmare into a sympathetic and tragic figure. By showing how language transforms the monster, and by contrasting the well-spoken monster with his equally articulate creator, Shelley argues that verbal communication—rather than action or appearance—is the only way through which people can truly understand one another.

Why did Mendel prevent his plants from self-pollinating?
iVinArrow [24]
<span>The answer is to control the crossing of the traits.

The idea of preventing plants from self-pollinating is to control the crossing of the traits. If plants were self-pollinating, he could not know if the traits are inherited from the same plant or from the other. By preventing this, he could cross parents with known phenotype and that way learn about crossing process and inheriting process.</span>

A nurse is preparing a client for discharge following an abdominal hysterectomy for fibroids. After providing discharge teaching
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Answer is option B -  "I should shower rather than take a tub bath."

Explanation:

Abdominal hysterectomy is the surgical removal of a part or all of the uterus by making an incision in the lower abdomen. After the surgery, the patient normally spends 2 - 5 days in the hospital and takes at least 4 - 6 weeks to get completely better. Some of the major discharge instructions are;

  • Drink enough water and eat smaller meals that are rich in proteins and fiber and plenty of fruits and vegetables daily. This helps with the healing process and prevents constipation.
  • Avoid swimming or taking a tub bath, but can take showers.
  • Dressings over the incision should be removed daily and keep the wound area clean.
  • Avoid inserting anything such as tampons into the vagina for 6 weeks after the surgery.
  • Avoid all heavy activity including strenuous household activities, weightlifting, and other strenuous exercises. Short walking and light household chores can be done.
  • Avoid driving if the patient is taking narcotic pain-relieving medicines. Long trips in vehicles or airplanes are not recommended for 4 weeks after the surgery.

Sort the labels into the correct bin according to the effect that gramicidin would have on each process.
EleoNora [17]
Remains the same: proton pumping rate, electron transport rate, rate of oxygen uptake
Decreases or goes to zero: Rate of ATP synthesis, size of the proton gradient
<span>(Gramicidin causes membranes to become very leaky to protons, so that a proton gradient cannot be maintained and ATP synthesis stops. However, the leakiness of the membrane has no effect on the ability of electron transport to pump protons. Thus, the rates of proton pumping, electron transport, and oxygen uptake remain unchanged.)</span>
