Starch cannot diffuse across the membrane because starch molecules are too large to fit through the pores in the dialysis tubing, whereas iodine is a smaller molecule and therefore can diffuse across.

Answer:

The correct reason would be their size difference iodine are small while starch molecules are large to pass through the membrane.

Explanation:

The permeability of the membrane also depends on the size of the molecule. The large molecule can not pass even though all other conditions are in their favor. For example Iodine molecules are small enough to go through the membrane freely, however starch molecules are too large and complex to pass through the membrane.

Thus, The correct reason would be their size difference iodine are small while starch molecules are large to pass through the membrane.

Explain the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources and give an example of each.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Nonrenewable Resources take longer to be replenished, reneweable resources are easily replenished and easily accessible.

Explanation:

If something is Nonrenewable; for example fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, then that means that the organic matter is limited and not going to grow or be created easily on Earth.

Renewable Resources are usually classified into five categories; Hydro, Solar, Wind, Biomass, and Geothermal. All of these resources are easily accesible and can be used as a natural energy source.

how nucleic acids and proteins work together to provide instructions for the structures and functions of an organism.

Ivanshal [37]

Nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), carry genetic information which is read in cells to make the RNA and proteins by which living things function. The well-known structure of the DNA double helix allows this information to be copied and passed on to the next generation.

"Which statement is the best interpretation of the material presented in the chart?

Neporo4naja [7]

After reading the contents of the table shown in the attached picture, I am pretty sure that the statement which is the best interpretation of the material presented in the chart is being shown in the first option: Scientific explanations are built by combining evidence that can be observed with what people already know. I choose this option as I recognized sort of 'cause&effect' information. In the first one you can see some well-known facts and in the other picture you can see accurate information gathered by scientists due to those facts.

Hope that helps!
