When two solutions are separated by the membrane through which water can pass but starch cannot, the osmosis will occur.

Osmosis is described as the spontaneous movement of water through membrane from a region of lower solute concentration into a region of higher solute concentration. Water movement tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

Answer:

Water will move from its region of high concentration towards the starch

Explanation:

As given in the problem statement , water can pass through the membrane but starch cannot pass through it. Thus, water will start permeating through the permeable membrane governed by the concept of osmosis where fluid at higher concentration starts moving towards the low concentration chamber.

Thus, water being at higher concentration on one side starts moving from its side to the side of starch and hence the starch solution level will rise while the level of water will lower down.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Destruction of coral reefs would cause an imbalance in the ecosystem. Some species could be driven to extinction.  

Coral reefs are the base of the most diverse marine ecosystem in the world. They are often referred to as the ‘rainforest’ of the oceans and seas.  They provide shelter for cnidarians, sponges, crustaceans, and etcetera and provide hiding grounds from predators.

Why does DNA need to be copied into mRNA?
larisa86 [58]

mRNA will serve as reference book that contains information as the DNA and its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.

The transfer of information in a DNA strand to a new molecule of messenger RNA is known as transcription. Thus, the process of transcription is carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase and a number of accessory proteins called transcription factors. However, DNA is copied into mRNA because mRNA will serve as reference book that contains information as the DNA and its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.

Answer:

<h2>Ethylene is a gaseous hormone in plants, it is a fruit ripening hormone.</h2>

Explanation:

Ethylene is a chemical signal through which ripening fruits trigger the ripening process in fruits, Studies on components of ethylene signaling have shown a linear transduction pathway leading to the activation of ethylene response factors. However, the whole pathway by which ethylene selects the ripening-related genes and interacts with other signaling pathways to regulate the ripening process still not yet fully known. Most fruits produce ethylene that starts the ripening process. Its level in under-ripe fruit is very low, but as fruit develop, the production of ethylene become larger that speed up the ripening process of fruit.
