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.

Proteins are three dimensional molecules made of strands of amino acids (imagine a ball of string). There are 20 different amino
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A series of nonpolar amino acids would most likely be located in the interior region of the tridimensional molecule.

Explanation:

Proteins are formed by linearly arranged amino acids, each with a side chain: the R-group.

Of the 20 different amino acids that compose the proteins, about half of them -10- are non-polar. Their R-groups are not stable if they are in contact with water, meaning that non-polar amino acids are hydrophobic.

When proteins are synthesized, they acquire a three-dimensional structure that makes them more stable. Lineal polypeptides get folded and turn into a shape that makes them more stable in the environment and capable of accomplishing their biological role. When they are in an aqueous media, their bent shape leaves the hydrophilic R-groups in contact with water. The hydrophilic R-groups stick in the center of the polypeptide, facing the protein interior, and avoiding interaction with water.

How do scientists most often gain new knowledge
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Scientists mostly gain new knowledge through direct observation and applying the scientific method. They would start with a hypothesis and test it, then change it or confirm it. Others would test their confirmation from one point, while the third group would test what the second said. And so on and so forth.
