Answer:

During osmosis the water moves from a solution with a low concentration of solute to a solution with a high concentration of solute.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water that occurs within cells through a semipermeable membrane. This process is carried out from a medium with a lower concentration of solute to another with a higher concentration.

In osmosis, the solvent (water) is passed from one medium to the other. This process does not take up energy and, therefore, osmosis is considered a passive transport.

In the process of osmosis, water, which is the solvent, tends to cross the semipermeable membrane in order to balance the concentration of the solution. This action is performed until the osmotic pressure is stabilized.

Thus, osmosis occurs whenever there is a difference in concentration between the external and internal environment of the cell. In this case, the water goes from the least concentrated region to the most concentrated one, naturally.

The result of osmosis is used in the nutrient exchange processes of animal and plant cells.

What would be the reason that someone’s eye color would change from blue to green when they were a child?
Butoxors [25]
Your eyes don’t change color, they only reflect the colours around them in particular if they are light coloured eyes. My eyes are blue-grey with a green heterachromia. They are very sensitive to light and dust so they get red easily which makes the eye color appear a brighter blue. If I wear green, the appear more green in color, when I am sunburned they appear more turquoise, etc. But when I wear white or don’t have a shirt on, they look their true blue-grey.

how do you distinguish between the bonds that compose the hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of a lipid molecule versus the forces tha
Eva8 [605]

The difference between the bonds that compose the hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of a lipid molecule versus the forces that drive lipid droplet formation (the hydrophobic effect) is hydrophobic hydrogen tail of a lipid molecule is the non water loving lipid whereas hydrophobic is the effect which is known as non water loving effect.

<h3>What is hydrophilic meant?</h3>

If a molecule is the “water-loving”, it is known as the ‘hydrophile’ (noun) that possesses a hydrophilic nature. In the contrast, if a molecule doesn’t like water (h2o) i.e. repel the water, it is known as the ‘hydrophobic‘. The terms hydrophilic and the hydrophobic are used to describe the molecules or  the substances based on how they react to the water molecules. The degree or the extent to which a molecule or a surface attracts water is known as the ‘hydrophilicity‘ of that molecule. Some of most common examples of the hydrophilic substances are sugar, salt, starch, and cellulose.

The tail of the phospholipid is the hydrophobic because it is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. If a molecule is made up of mostly of carbon and hydrogen atoms, it is a nonpolar or hydrophobic molecule. Carbon and hydrogen have the similar electronegativities, so they share the electrons equally resulting in the nonpolar bond. Because the tail of the phospholipid is the nonpolar, it does not interact with the water, whereas, Hydrophobic effect is just a tendency of non-polar molecules to come together so that they can avoid the water from their surface area as much as they can.
