Elizabeth is conducting an investigation to study how molecules are transported into and out of a cell. Elizabeth builds a model

of a cell using a U-shaped tube. A barrier, which is permeable to water, but not sugar, is placed on the bottom of the tube to model the cell membrane. Elizabeth adds two different solutions to each side of the tube. The solute in each solution is sugar and the solvent is water. The initial levels of solution in Side A and Side B are equal. The concentration of sugar in Side A is lower than the concentration of sugar in Side B.
What is Elizabeth likely to observe?

A. Water molecules will move from Side A to Side B. The solution level on Side A will fall and the solution level on Side B will rise.
B. Water molecules will move from Side B to Side A. The solution level on Side A will rise and the solution level on Side B will fall.
C. Sugar molecules will move from Side A to Side B. The solution level on Side A will fall and the solution level on Side B will rise.
D. Sugar molecules will move from Side B to Side A. The solution level on Side A will rise and the solution level on Side B will fall.

The correct answer is: A. Water molecules will move from Side A to Side B. The solution level on Side A will fall and the solution level on Side B will rise.

Because the barrier is permeable only for water, water will move via osmosis-down the gradient (into a area of higher solute concentration). Water tends to equalize the solute concentrations of the side A with the solute concentrations of the side B.

A biochemist isolates and purifies various molecules needed for DNA replication. When she adds these molecules to DNA, replicati
olga55 [171]

Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

<em>The biochemist must have left out DNA ligase enzyme.</em>

<u>The DNA ligase enzyme is able to catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds and as such, capable of joining strands of DNA together to form a single strand.</u>

The numerous DNA segments of a few nucleotides long observed by the biochemist must have been the replicated product of the lagging DNA strand. The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in short strands because the DNA polymerase enzyme can only elongate primers in 5' to 3' direction. The short segments are known as Okazaki segments and are usually joined together to form a whole strand by the DNA ligase enzyme.

Hence, the missing component is the DNA ligase.

Which of the following is a density-dependent factor that may limit population growth?
Damm [24]
Spread of disease is density dependent because it is more severe the greater the population density as the disease would spread more easily. If there is low population density it would spread slower.

Which of these conditions is considered necessary for a
ddd [48]

Answer:

All

Explanation:

You would need carbon dioxide to be able to sustain life forms such as plants, warm enough temperatures to allow the development of animals, (because they cannot be frozen), they would, of course, need oxygen to allow anyone to breathe, and finally liquid water to sustain healthy life, because we must hydrate that is necessary for survival.
