Explore a wide variety of cells, from bacteria to human neurons, using a compound light microscope. Select a sample to study, then focus on the sample using the coarse and fine focus controls of the microscope. Compare the structures found in different cells, then perform tests to see if the sample is alive.
Answer:
The correct answer is C) 1 L of 1.0 M NaCl
Explanation:
NaCl is a ionic compound so it dissociates in water into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. Glucose is a covalent solute so it does not dissociates into ions. So, when we dissolve NaCl we have twice the amount of particles in solution in comparison with glucose. According to this:
A) and B) are solutions with the same concentration (0.5 M) but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose.
C) and D) are solutions with more solute amount because they are more concentrated (1 M), but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose solution ( 1 mol of Na⁺ ions + 1 mol of Cl⁻ ions).
The solution with the greatest solute particle number is C).
A. A statement of purpose
They are semi-permeable because they can diffuse and pass through the plasma membrane easily.
