Solute potential of a solution is calculated using the formula,

Ψ_{s}=-(iCRT)

Where,

Ψ_{s}is the solute potential of the solution,

<em>i</em> is the degree to which the solute ionizes(ionization constant) in solution = 1, as sucrose is a nonelectrolyte.

C is the concentration of the solution in molarity = 0.5 M

R is the gas constant or the pressure constant = 0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K)

T is the temperature in Kelvin scale = 30^{0}+273 =303 K

Calculating the solute potential of the surrounding sucrose solution:

Ψ_{s}=-(iCRT)

              = -(1 * 0.5 M * (0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K))* 303 K)

              = 12.6 bar

Therefore, the solute potential of the surrounding solution is 12.6 bar

Order the steps of carbohydrate digestion:___________
Kryger [21]

Answer:

B

D

C

A

Explanation:

Digestion begins in the mouth with the process of chewing also known as mastication. Saliva in the mouth mixes with the food. saliva contains amylose. This breaks down sugar into smaller units of dextrins and maltose.

In the small intestine, the pancreas releases pancreatic juice which breaks down dextrins into smaller units.

the cells in the small intestine helps to transport the digested nutrients to the blood stream

Undigested food goes to the large intestine and eliminated in the stool

In your own words explain how "Carrying Capacity" plays a vital role in today's world and our future as well.
valkas [14]

Answer:

Carrying Capacity is very important for today as well as for the future.

Explanation:

Carrying Capacity refers to the maximum population of a particular organism that a specific environment can hold. In each and every environment, there are different population of organisms present due to the availability of resources such as food, water and space for living. If these resources are present in large amount then the population of organism will be higher but if these resources are limited, then the population will be lower. Carrying Capacity is also important for the future because with the passage of time, population of human increases which destroy the forests because human requires area for living. So for cutting of forests, the animals migrated to other areas and sometimes die due to no space available for them.
