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.

Assoli18 [71]

The cell is most likely prokaryotic because:

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus due to which the DNA are seen throughout the cytoplasm.

Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus. So for eukaryotes, the DNA will be present packed inside the nucleus instead of being dispersed in the cytoplasm.

Prokaryotes can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic depending on their mode of nutrition. Autotrophic prokaryotes can make organic molecules for a carbon dioxide source. On the other hand, heterotrophic prokaryotes can take carbon from organic compounds. Hence, the organism can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

the guard cells take in minerals by active uptake from the cells next to them. Explain why water then passes into the guard cell
Step2247 [10]
When guard cells lose potassium ions, water diffuses out of the cells by osmosis. As water leaves the cells, they become flaccid and less bowed, which closes the stomata between them.
