Answer:

The correct answer to the question is: the level of liquid in Side A will rise.

Explanation:

  • Sucrose is formed of two molecules of glucose but the membrane is impermeable to it.
  • The given membrane is said to be permeable to water and glucose.
  • Through a semi-permeable membrane, molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to another region where its concentration is low by the process of diffusion until its concentration in the two regions becomes equal. This phenomenon is known as Osmosis.
  • Concentration gradient of a molecule can be defined as the difference in the concentration of the molecule in two different regions separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
  • Considering glucose, the concentration of glucose is low in side A (1M) and high in side B (2M), so it will tend to move from side B to side A down its concentration gradient.
  • Considering sucrose, although its concentration is high in side A (2M) but low in side B (1M), it is unable to move as the membrane is impermeable to it.
  • Water tend to move from a region where the concentration of solute is low (or water concentration is high) to a region where the concentration of solute is high (or water concentration is low).
  • Due to the movement of glucose from side B to side A, the concentration of total solute concentration becomes high in side A as compared to side B. Therefore, water would move from side B to side A.
  • Hence the level of liquid in Side A will rise after sometime.

Why was ice used during the extracting DNA
AfilCa [17]

Answer: The Cold Water  temperature helps increase the attachment of the DNA Explanation:

Using ice-cold ethanol and ice-cold water increases the yield of DNA. Low temperatures protect the DNA by slowing down the activity of enzymes that could break it apart. ... DNases in the cytoplasm would destroy the DNA of viruses entering the cell. Cold ethanol helps the DNA to precipitate more quickly

4. Which of the following factors did not contribute to the genetic diversification of the Galápagos Island finches studied by D
lakkis [162]

Answer:

c. The islands are only 100 km from Ecuador, so they receive a continual input of new genes from the mainland

Explanation:

The Galapagos islands are not connected with the mainland. They are isolated islands and are located away from the mainland. Due to their geographical isolation, Galapagos islands do not experience the migration of populations from the mainland. So, there is no gene flow to Galapagos islands from the mainland.

Further, diversification of islands needs them to be isolated from the mainland so that the inhabiting populations can diversify to accommodate in available niches.
