Answer: option C.Water will move into the cell
Explanation:
1) Start by analyzing what the statement means in terms of relative concentrations:
------------------------ | inside the cell ------------ | outside the cell |
sugar --------------- | higher ----------------------- | lower ------------- |
water -------------- | lower ------------------------- | higher ------------ |
2) Osmosis is the process where a barrier (the celll membrane) permits the pass of some component and not others.
The component that can pass is that whose particles are smaller. Sugar molecules (the solute) are bigger than water molecules (the solvent), so sugar molecules cannot pass the cell membrane. Only water can.
3) The driviing force for the motion of water molecules is called diffusion. The diffusion occurs from higher concentrations to lower concentrations.
Hence, the water molecules will from outside the outiside the cell, where they have the greater concentration, toward the inside of the cell, where water hasa the lower concentration.
As result, the water will move into the cell, which is the option C.
Answer:
A and C represent elements while B and D represent Compounds
Explanation:
chemical elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical reaction. While A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules composed of atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds
Explanation:
solid: table, biscuit
liquid: water, urine
gas: oxygen, carbon dioxide
