1. When a sugary gummy bear is placed in water, there are more dissolved solutes _______________ (inside/outside) the gummy bear

.
2. Your gummy bear increased in size after being soaked in tap water. Why did it expand?
(Hint: Remember that this is osmosis, and that water LOVES solutes.)

(Note: Giving 50 points because I'm confused and appreciate the help so much! Also, you don't need to see the assignment to know what the answer is. I just don't understand much about solutes.)

Answer:

When a sugary gummy bear is placed in water, there are more dissolved solutes inside the gummy bear.

Explanation:

The sugary gummy bear has more solutes as compared to the water in which it is being soaked. When a sugary gummy bear is placed in water, water enters the gummy bear through osmosis as water tends to move to the place where there are more solutes. The sugar gummy bear has more solutes. So, the gummy bear  expands and increases in size due to the entrance of water into it.

Answer:

Inside

Explanation:

The other answer helped explain it to me. When you put the sugary gummy bear in water, the water all rushes in and expands the gummy bear. If enough water gets in it, it could actually explode. That's why when you take the gummy bear out of the water, be very careful not to pop it.

In a tabular form state the sources, functions and deficiency of fat soluble vitamins​
GaryK [48]

Answer and Explanation:

Soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E and K.

Vitamin A is easily found in animal foods such as eggs, milk, cheese, meat, among others. It has the function of improving vision, producing antioxidants and improving immunity. its deficiency causes nocturnal tracking and susceptibility to infections.

Vitamin D has the sun as its major source, but it can also be found in fish, seafood, liver, mushrooms and meat. It is important for the growth and strengthening of bones, growth regulation, metabolism, insulin production and strengthening of the cardiovascular, muscular and immune systems. Its deficiency can provoke muscular and bone pains, spasms, intense weakness and calcium deficiency.

Vitamin E has many sources, among which we can mention wheat, vegetable oils, nuts, sunflower seeds, bananas, soybeans, egg yolks, almonds, eggs, spinach, lettuce, among others. Its main function is to act as a powerful antioxidant, slowing premature aging and diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's and cataracts. Its deficiency can cause loss of motor coordination, weakening of the muscles and anemia.

Vitamin K can be found in lettuce, spinach, mustard, broccoli, cucumber, turnip, asparagus, okra, liver, among others. It is important in blood clotting and calcium fixation. Its deficiency can cause defective clotting and bleeding.

How does carbon not get lost when it moves through the carbon cycle
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Carbon is the chemical backbone of life on Earth. Carbon compounds regulate the Earth’s temperature, make up the food that sustains us, and provide energy that fuels our global economy. Carbon moves from one storage reservoir to another through a variety of mechanisms. For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. They use energy from the sun to chemically combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water to create sugar molecules. Animals that eat plants digest the sugar molecules to get energy for their bodies. Respiration, excretion, and decomposition release the carbon back into the atmosphere or soil, continuing the cycle. The ocean plays a critical role in carbon storage, as it holds about 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere. Two-way carbon exchange can occur quickly between the ocean’s surface waters and the atmosphere, but carbon may be stored for centuries at the deepest ocean depths. Rocks like limestone and fossil fuels like coal and oil are storage reservoirs that contain carbon from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. When these organisms died, slow geologic processes trapped their carbon and transformed it into these natural resources. Processes such as erosion release this carbon back into the atmosphere very slowly, while volcanic activity can release it very quickly. Burning fossil fuels in cars or power plants is another way this carbon can be released into the atmospheric reservoir quickly.Human activities have a tremendous impact on the carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels, changing land use, and using limestone to make concrete all transfer significant quantities of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is rapidly rising; it is already considerably greater than at any time in the last 800,000 years.  The ocean absorbs much of the carbon dioxide that is released from burning fossil fuels. This extra carbon dioxide is lowering the ocean’s pH, through a  process called ocean acidification. Ocean acidification interferes with the ability of marine organisms (including corals, Dungeness crabs, and snails) to build their shells and skeletons.

PLEASE HELP
KatRina [158]
The correct options are as follows:
1. D.
Natural selection refers to the process by which living organisms that are more  adapted to their environments usually survive and produce offspring that are like them. In the case of giraffes, the giraffes with the longest necks were able to survive in their environment and they reproduce offspring that are like them.
2. D
In the scientific world, scientists have open minds and they welcome all new ideas. These new ideas have to be tested to ensure that they are correct and superior to the facts that are already known. When a new hypothesis is put forward by a scientist, many scientists all over the world will test the hypothesis is order t confirm if it correct. If the hypothesis is found to be correct it will be accepted by all scientists.
3. A.
DNA test is a laboratory analysis that can be used to assess the level of relationship between living organisms. Related living organisms usually have some similar genes in their DNA, the level of closeness of these organisms will determine the quantity of similar genes that will be found in their DNA. Unrelated organisms on the other hand will have little or no similar genes in their DNA.
4. C.
The genetic code is the same across species, this fact points to the possibility that all living organisms originated from common ancestors. This support the evolution theory which stated that all living organisms descended from a common ancestor.
5. B.
Antibiotic drugs are usually effective against bacteria and other microbes, but the microbes can evolve and develop resistance to these drugs. Microbes are considered to have evolved when drugs that are used to inactivate them before no longer have any effect on them, thus they can easily survive in the presence of the drugs.
6. B.
If a particular specie of animal is able to avoid predators, it will increase in number more that those that are prey on by predators. The kings snakes were probably able to avoid predators, that is why, they were able to survive, reproduce offspring and increase in population in that particular ecosystem.
