A selectively permeable membrane separates two solutions. Water is able to pass through this membrane; however, sucrose (a disac

charide) and glucose (a monosaccharide) cannot pass. The membrane separates a 0.2-molar sucrose solution from a 0.2-molar glucose solution. With time, how will the solutions change?a. Nothing happens because the two solutions are isotonic to one another.
b. Water enters the sucrose solution because the sucrose molecule is a disaccharide and thus larger than the monosaccharide glucose.
c. Water leaves the sucrose solution because the sucrose molecule is a disaccharide and thus larger than the monosaccharide glucose.
d. The sucrose solution is hypertonic and will gain water because the total mass of sucrose is greater than that of glucose.
e. After the sucrose dissociates to two monosaccharides, water will be osmostically drawn to that side of the membrane.

Answer:

a. Nothing happens because the two solutions are isotonic to one another.

Explanation:

Two solutions of the same molarity are separated from each other by a membrane that allows water molecules but not the glucose or sucrose to move across it. Movement of water across the selectively permeable membrane occurs only when two solutions have different concentrations of solutes. In that case, water moves from a hypotonic solution towards a hypertonic solution. Since both sucrose and glucose solutions have the same tonicity, there would not be any change in the solution.

Choose some of these examples to create a system. Explain how the flow of matter and energy occurs in the system.
ycow [4]

The major difference between the flow of matter and of energy is that the flow of matter occurs in a cyclic manner i.e. it is recycled, however, the flow of energy in an ecosystem is unidirectional which means, it is not recycled. The flow of matter follows the following path

1) Decomposers release nutrients when they break down dead organisms

2) The nutrients are taken up by plants through their roots

3) The nutrients pass to primary consumers when they eat the plants

4) The nutrients pass to higher-level consumers when they eat lower-level consumers

5) When living things die, the cycle repeats

In case of flow of energy, the energy flows through an ecosystem in one direction, from photosynthetic organisms to herbivores to omnivores and carnivores and decomposers, less and less energy becomes available to support life. This loss of usable energy occurs because each energy transfer results in the dissipation of some energy into the environment as heat
