Mass and volume are two characteristics of matter:-

Mass is a measure of an object's inertia. It is proportional to weight: the more mass an object has, the more weight it has. However, mass is not the same as weight. Weight is a force created by the action of gravity on a substance while mass is a measure of an object's resistance to change in motion. Mass is measured by comparing the substance of interest to a standard kilogram called the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK). The IPK is a metal cylinder for which the height and diameter both equal 39.17 millimeters and is made of an alloy of 90% platinum and 10% iridium. Thus, the standard kilogram is defined and all other masses are a comparison to this kilogram. When atom masses are measured in a mass spectrometer, a different internal standard is used. Your take home lesson with regard to mass is that mass is a relative term judged by a comparison.

Volume is a measure of the amount of space occupied by an object. Volume can be measured directly with equipment designed using graduations marks or indirectly using length measurements depending on the state (gas, liquid, or solid) of the material. A graduated cylinder, for example, is a tube that can hold a liquid which is marked and labeled at regular intervals, usually every 1 or 10 mL. Once a liquid is placed in the cylinder, one can read the graduation marks and record the volume measurement. Since volume changes with temperature, graduated equipment has limits to the precision with which one can read the measurement. Solid objects that have regular shape can have their volume calculated by measuring their dimensions. In the case of a box, its volume equals length times width times height.

Why does water move through a membrane?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The cells need water to maintain their metabolic functions, the way water enters through cells membranes is by osmosis.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a lipidic bilayer composed of phospholipids and embedded proteins. Phospholipids have the characteristic of being amphiphilic which means that possess hydrophilic and lipophilic characteristics. The most common way is by osmosis, that is a mechanism that moves water from high concentration to less concentration of water.  In the cell membrane, there are is channels of proteins called aquaporins that facilitate the pass of water through the membrane. Also, as water is a very small molecule without charge, this characteristic allows passing a limit amount of water molecules through the hydrophilic characteristic of membranes.

What would be the independent variable in the following hypothesis?
Tamiku [17]
The independent variable in the hypothesis of an observed increased in sea turtle sickness once an increase in red tide can be seen would be the increase of red tide. 

The reason for this is that red tide increases or decreases will happen independently of the amount of sea turtle sickness - therefore increasing sea turtle sickness will be dependent on the first variable. (independent one).
