Explain why a sugary gummy bear changes in size after being soaked in salt water?

Biology
1 answer:
galben [10]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

If you have already soaked it in tap or distilled water, it is very large. Soaking it in salt water will cause it to shrink because there is now a high percentage of water in it, and not a lot of salt. The salt from the water gets absorbed by the bear. Now, the water percentage has decreased, so it is not as large. However, the gummy bear will never change back into its original form.

List 3 possible futures for the universe
Marina86 [1]

1 possible future is The Big Crunch. This theory assumes that the average density of the universe will be enough to stop its expansion and begin contracting.

2. Some theorists state that the expansion of the universe will go on forever, and if that happens, the universe will cool as it expands, and then it will become too cool to sustain life.

3. The Big Rip. The universe may keep expanding, as I mentioned before. But as it expands, the gravity may not be able to hold all the planets together, as it is now. Galaxies would tear apart first, followed by smaller black holes, planets and stars. Eventually, space would start expanding faster than the speed of light, and atoms would start breaking down into super small particles and everything would fall into nothing.

What is the environmental pressure of a giraffe
Yuri [45]
The answer to this question would be: increased food height

Giraffe becomes tall because its food height is increased. In this case, the environmental pressure on Giraffe would be the increased height of the food.
The taller giraffe has access to higher food. Then, the giraffe with the higher chance of survival in this scenario would be the giraffe with a taller height.
