Which environment has the greater concentration of dissolved oxygen salt water or fresh water?
fresh water
How are conductivity and concentration of a salt solution related?
The greater the concentration of salt in an aqueous solution, the higher the electrical conductivity. This is because, with a greater salt concentration, there are more ions available to serve as a path for electron transfer in the solution.
There is a greater concentration of na plus and there is a greater concentration of k plus in the cell?
There is a greater concentration of Na plus outside and there is a greater concentration of K plus inside the cell. When the stimulus is delivered, the permeability of the membrane is changed, and Na plus diffuses into the cell, initiating the depolarization of the membrane.
Does the result of diffusion make the concentration always remain greater inside the membrane?
no it does not make it greater nor fewer inside the cell membrane it's because difussion keeps on going till equilibrium happens. moreover the process difussion allows solutes to be transferred from the more concentration to the less concentration like what happens in glucose between a cell and blood. :)
What is concerntration gradient?
As used in the process of diffusion, the concentration gradient is the graduated difference in concentration of a solute within a solution (as expressed per a unit distance). Molecules tend to move from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration. i.e. down the gradient.
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
Which environment has the greater concentration of dissolved oxygen salt water or fresh water?
fresh water
What kind of environment is described when the concentration of dissolved substances is greater inside the cell or outside?
When greater than the cell it is hypertonic lower it is hypotonic
Does an eggs mass get greater when it is in saltwater?
no
Why will external fluid flow into a plant cell?
this is the anser because the external water concentration is greater because the external salt concentration is less
Does freshwater or saltwater have a greater density?
Salt water has a greater density.

What are the densities of freshwater and saltwater?
the densities are different (Saltwater has a greater density than freshwater.)
What is the quantitative pollutants?
Quantitative Pollutants: The substances which are already present in the environment, but are termed as pollutants when their concentration (quantity) increases in the environment. eg. CO2 is present in the environment in greater quantity than normal and is hence termed as a quantitative pollutant.

How many times greater ias the concentration of DDT in fish than seawater?
The concentration of DDT in the fish is 430,000 times greater than the concentration of DDT in the water.
