If the mass of each dialysis bag shown in the experimental set-up below is measured before each is immersed in its respective so

lution, and the mass is measured again 45 minutes later, which bag would you predict will show the greatest increase in mass?

From the understanding of hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions; one can deduce which of the dialysis bags will show the greatest increase in mass. The correct answer would be the dialysis bag with 1.0 M solution.

Hypertonic solutions have higher concentrations than the sap of whatever cell or substances that is put into them. Water molecules will move from the sap of any cell drop into such solutions into the solutions.

Isotonic solutions have the same concentration as the sap of cells drop into them. Hence, no net movement of water molecules by osmosis.

Hypotonic solutions have lower concentrations than the sap of cells drop into them. Hence, water will move from such solutions to the sap of the cells drop into them.

In the images, there are 3 categories of solutions:

  • Hypertonic solutions: the solutions with 1.0, 0.4, and 0.6 M concentrations. The dialysis bags with 0.2 M solutions will lose water to their respective surrounding hypertonic solutions. Hence, their weights would decrease.
  • Isotonic solution: the solution with 0.2 M concentration, the same concentration as the solution in the dialysis bag. The dialysis bag will neither gain nor lose weight.
  • Hypotonic solution: the solution with 0.2 M concentration but the concentration of the solution in the dialysis bag is 1.0 M. Water molecules will move from the surrounding solution into the solution in the dialysis bag. Hence, the dialysis bag in this case will gain weight.

In other words, the dialysis bag with 1.0 M solution will have the greatest increase in mass due to a gain in water molecules by osmosis.

Answer:

Budding cells formed by the Saccharomyces are through "Cytokinensis"

Explanation:

Cytokinensis helps the budding cells of the Saccharomyces to get splitted over two new cells. These buds raise, throughout its cell cycle and afterwards leaves its mother cell while mitosis been completed. Budding of the yeast makes up an perfect model for the creature to study the meiosis. Diploid yeast can be prepared by making it undergo through meiosis in absence of nitrogen which will lead to the generation of an ascus along with 4 haploid cells. Due to this the property of the meiotic products can also be studied.

The model demonstrating the importance of solar energy for life on Earth in which the student should make is a model of a local food web
All food chains begin by receiving the energy of the sun. This energy is captured by plants which are the producer link in the chain. Plants are able to utilize the light energy from the sun to produce food such as sugar from carbon dioxide and water.
