Answer: Water will move from B to A.

Explanation:

In passive diffusion, the small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer, seen in pink. This layer acts as a <em>semi-permeable membrane</em>; its hydrophilic heads are attracted to water (seen facing outwards) while its water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing  molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane <em>down the concentration gradient. </em>

Thus the water will move from an area of high concentration (more blue dots) to an area of low concentration  (i.e. from B to A), until the system reaches a steady state called equilibrium- after  which, there will be no net movement of water. Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in <em>osmotic pressure </em>on either side of the phospholipid by layer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Which of the following is not true of air masses? (Do not delete my question earth science is not an option for a subject!!)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

A.) An air mass cannot transfer energy from one area to another

Explanation:

The air masses are constantly on the move. They can be warm and moist, or cold and dry, as well as hot and dry, all depending on the place above which they have formed. The air masses that form over warm, large bodies of water and warm and moist. The air masses that form over cold regions are cold and dry, and the air masses that form deeper into the continent in hot regions, are hot and dry. Because the air masses are constantly on the move, they manage to transfer their energy from one area to another, resulting in change of weather conditions as the energy is transferred.

A sample of DNA reveals 30.3% Adenine. How much Guanine is present?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

69.7%

Explanation:

Adenine base pairs with thymine

guanine base pairs with cytosine

you need to get to 100%

30.3-100=69.7%

There will be 30.3% or adenine and thymine and 69.7% or guanine and cytosine.
