A beaker of water is separated by a selectively permeable membrane that allows the passage of water but not ions. A solution of

4% sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed on one side of the membrane and pure water is placed on the other side of the membrane. The solutions are allowed to equilibrate. At this point, which process is going on

Answer:

osmosis

Explanation:

The process that was going is <u>osmosis</u>.

<em>Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from regions of high water potential to regions of low water potentials through a selectively permeable membrane.</em>

In this case, the membrane is only permeable to water movement and not ions and water molecules move from the side with pure water (which happens to have higher water potential) to the side with 4% sodium chloride until equilibrium in water potential is established between the two sides.

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle, use and produce a variety of molecules. Sort
Margaret [11]

Molecules brought in and used in the calvin cycle - Carbon dioxide (CO_2) , Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)

Molecules produced during the calvin cycle that leave the cycle - a few of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), NADP+

Molecules used and regenerated within the calvin cycle - most of the Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) , NADPH

<u>Explanation:</u>

Calvin cycle is the light independent reaction that takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH produced during the light reaction. Calvin cycle occurs in 3 steps, they are:

1. Carbon fixation - (CO_2) combines with Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) to form 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA).

2. Reduction - ATP and NADPH is used to convert 3-PGA into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).

3. Regeneration - some G3P molecule form glucose while other regenerates to form RuBP acceptor.

If a ship is sailing on an ocean and it is 2:00pm at the prime meridian and 10:00 am on the ship what is the longitudinal locati
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The longitude of the location of the ship is W

Explanation:

Here we have the time at the prime meridian as 2 pm while the time at the ship is 10 am. What this means is that the prime meridian is 4 hours ahead of the time of the location of the ship. Geographically, whenever a location is east of the prime meridian, it is ahead of the prime.

Suppose you have an X ray of an arm, which is taken because the doctor suspects a bone is broken. You also have a drawing showin
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

An X-ray is done to diagnose the position of bones in the body whether its broken or not or in right place or not.

An X-ray machine is turned on to provide a visual of the bones showing bone condition. When the machine is turned on, X-ray travel through the body tissues, and due to the presence of calcium in bones, they absorb more X-rays, thus bones appear white against the black background of a radiograph.

These white bones on the radiograph will show the position of bones whether it's broken or not.

So, both the visuals that is X-ray and drawing showing visuals (the bones appear white) contribute valuable data to the given situation.
