An atom's mass is determined by its protons and neutrons.
An atom's charge is determined by its number of protons minus it number of electrons.
Atoms become cations, or positively charged when they lose an electron, and since electrons have a negative charge, they become anions, or negatively charged.
Water is a universal solvent.
Carbohydrates (carbs) are used by the body for energy.
Steroids and triglycerides are lipids.
Proteins that catalyze chemical reactions are called enzymes.
Answer:
The unknown solution had the higher concentration.
Explanation:
When two solutions are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, depending on the concentration gradient between the two solutions, there is a tendency for water molecules to move across the semi-permeable in order to establish an equilibrium concentration between the two solutions. This movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient is known as osmosis. In osmosis, water molecules moves from a region of lower solute concentration or higher water molecules concentration to a region of higher solute concentration or lower water molecules concentration until equilibrium concentration is attained.
Based on the observation that when the glucose solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unknown solution level rises, it means that water molecules have passed from the glucose solution through the semipermeable membrane into the unknown solution. Therefore, the solution has a higher solute concentration than the glucose solution.
