The number of chromosomes does not correlate with the apparent complexity of an animal or a plant:
in humans, for example, the diploid number is 2n = 46 (that is, 23 pairs), compared with 2n = 78, or 39 pairs, in the dog and 2n = 36 (18) in the common earthworm.
Explanation:
members of the same species battle each other to protect their young
Carbon dioxide+water (with sunlight)= glucose +oxygen
Answer:
1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride solution
Explanation:
The liquid that would cause the largest decrease in the mass of the potato stick would be the one with <u>1 mole per dm3 sodium chloride solution.</u>
<em>The water potential of a solution depends on the molarity of the solution, the higher the molarity, the lower the water potential and vice versa. Hence, a solution with higher molarity has the tendency to osmotically draw more water from the potato stick than a solution with lower molarity.</em>
Therefore, the potato stick will have the largest decrease in mass in 1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride when compared to the 0.5 and 0.1 mole per dm3 solutions.
