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.

lions [1.4K]

Answer: The answer is B: The enzyme's active site binds to and stabilizes the transition state, which decreases the activation energy of the reaction.

Explanation: An enzyme is a biological molecule which speeds up the rate of chemical reactions in the body (reactions within cells). They are proteins.

    The transition state is the transition from substrate to product. The molecule is no longer a substrate but also not yet a product.

The enzyme is able to speed up the reaction by stabilizing the transition state. The transition state's energy is also the activation energy in terms of reaction. The activation energy is the minimum energy that is required to break some bonds of the reactants in order to turn them to products.
