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.

The estimated density or number of individuals needed for a species to maintain or increase its numbers in a region is the _____
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with minimum viable population.

Explanation:

The MVP or the minimum viable population refers to the lowest number of individuals or the minimum density of the population of a species that can thrive in a specific region. The term is generally used in the fields of ecology, biology, and conservation biology.  

The minimum viable population refers to the smallest probable size at which the population can prevail without encountering extinction due to demographic or natural disasters, genetic, or environmental stochasticity. Generally, MVP is utilized to signify towards a wild population, however, it can also be utilized for ex-situ conservation.

What is the life cycle of the sun? What are the phases of its life? Birth What is it now? ________________ What will it become?
ira [324]

Answer:

Main sequence, red giant, white dwarf.

Explanation:

  • The life cycle of the sun is called as solar cycle and is the phase of solar development. There are about seven-stage in its life cycle. Starting with the birth of the sun that is found in the solar nebula theory took place about 4.56 billion years.  
  • The sun starts to enter the T Tauri stage, followed by the main sequence stage where the sun is currently in. After this stage that is when the sun runs out of hydrogen from its core.  
  • It will produce violent helium flashes and will shrink its size. When this happens it will reach the tip of the red giant stage. Later on, the naked core will form into a white dwarf.
