You have a round pie plate filled with water. You carefully release a drop of red food coloring in the center of the plate until

the water is faintly red. After waiting for a long time, the dye molecules in the pie plate will: A. Continue moving in the same manner as when the drop was first placed in the water. B. Slow down, because they have moved to a lower concentration area. C. Stop moving, because they have reached equilibrium. D. Speed up, because they are farther from other dye molecules and have more space to move.

Answer:

C. Stop moving, because they have reached equilibrium.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process whereby molecules/particles move from a region where they are highly concentrated to that region where they are less concentrated. This movement follows the concentration gradient i.e. difference in concentration that forms between the two regions. This movement continues until an equilibrium is attained in both regions i.e. equal concentration of the molecule.

In this question, a drop of red food coloring was released in the center of a plate containing water until the water becomes faintly red. The water gradually changes to red because molecules of the dye are moving from high concentration areas to lesser concentration areas. However, when an equal concentration is attained i.e. equilibrium, the MOLECULES WILL STOP MOVING.

Explain the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle
Oksanka [162]

Bacteria is important because this bacteria binds hydrogen molecules with the gaseous nitrogen to form ammonia in the soil.  During assimilation, or when plants take up nitrates from the soil, bacteria aid in the process with the plants in making ammonia. Animal wastes is also a major place where bacteria thrives and produces ammonia. The process in which assimilation occurs in plants, and then bacteria converts the nitrates to ammonia is called ammonification.  From the conversion of ammonia to nitrites, bacteria also aids in this process called nitrification. The nitrifying bacteria mostly present in soils, oxidize ammonia into nitrites, and from nitrites to nitrates.

Finally, the process of denitrification also has bacteria present to aid in converting nitrates back into a gaseous form of nitrogen in the atmosphere.

How do scientists theorize that cyanobacteria affect the development of endosymbiosis?
timama [110]
Cyanobacteria are primitive organisms where chloroplasts are believed to be originated. Now, with the theory of endosymbiosis, this suggests that these organelle from cyanobacteria was engulfed by other organisms which has helped them process light with the help of chloroplasts.
