What happens when the concentration of water molecules is greater outside a cell than inside?

There will be a net movement of water out of the cell, the cell will become shrunken. Water will move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.


What determines in which direction carbon dioxide and oxygen will diffuse in the lungs and tissues?

The direction of diffusion for carbon dioxide and oxygen in the lungs and tissues is determined by their respective concentration gradients. In the lungs, carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli where its concentration is lower, while oxygen diffuses into the blood from the alveoli where its concentration is higher. In the tissues, oxygen diffuses from the blood into the cells where its concentration is lower, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells into the blood where its concentration is higher.


How are diffusion and filtration alike?

Both move down concentration gradient through a partially permeable membrane, and both do not require energy. Diffusion involves the movement of particles or solute from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration.


Why C4 plants able to photosynthesize with no apparent photorespiration?

C4 plants have an additional carbon fixation step involving PEP carboxylase, which helps to concentrate CO2 around Rubisco, reducing the likelihood of oxygen competing with CO2 at the active site of Rubisco. This spatial separation of carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle enables C4 plants to minimize photorespiration.


Does warm water or cold water have a higher concentration of oxygen gas?

The solubility of oxygen is higher in cold water. For example, at 0 degrees C saturation is 14.7 mg/L; and at 30 degrees C it is only 7.4 mg/L. That's why some fish struggle in very warm water; not as much oxygen available.

How much does water weigh with sodium chloride together?

This depends on the sodium chloride concentration; higher the concentration, higher the density.


What is the major advantage of air?

The concentration of oxygen in the air is much much higher than in the water. This make obtaining oxygen much easier and strenuous activity (to a level higher than that is water) possible.


What is the relationship between concentration and molarity in a solution?

Concentration and molarity are related in a solution because molarity is a way to measure concentration. Molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, so it gives a precise measurement of how much solute is dissolved in a given volume of solvent. Therefore, the higher the molarity, the higher the concentration of the solution.


What is the major advantage of air breathing?

The concentration of oxygen in the air is much much higher than in the water. This make obtaining oxygen much easier and strenuous activity (to a level higher than that is water) possible.


What effect does the concentration of baking soda solution have on the amount needed to neutralizing an acid?

If it has a greater concentration, it will be considered more basic or alkaline. So, with a higher concentration, you will not need as much baking soda in your neutralization reaction.


What happens when you walk to the bottom of the moon?

Not much. If you walk to the bottom of the earth, not much happens there, either. Gravity is slightly higher at the poles, but it is unnoticeable.


Is osmosis a movement of proteins?

No, in osmosis water molecules move from higher water concentration to a lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Proteins are much smaller matter.


What has the highest concentration of alcohol per serving Lager beer Flavored vodka with cranberry juice Tequila Japanese Sake?

It all depends on which has a higher alcohol prof. The proof tells you how much alcohol per serving youre actually consuming. The higher the proof the higher the concentration of alcohol.


Is the concentration of ozone in polluted areas typically much higher than it is in the ozone layer?

No, the concentration of ozone in the ozone layer is typically much higher than in polluted areas. The ozone layer is composed of a concentrated layer of ozone high up in the stratosphere, whereas ozone in polluted areas is formed closer to the ground as a result of chemical reactions between pollutants.


When you climb higher what happens to you?

when you climb higher you will get colder and colder when you go higher.2. it dosent have much air when you get up so take breathing equietment.


Is it true that a low concentration of a chemical slows reaction rate?

I would point your studies towards collision theory. It's not that a low concentration necessarily slows down a reaction, but that a low concentration will have a slower reaction rate than a higher concentration of reactants. A lower concentration means a lower number of reactants in solution, meaning it is less likely for the reactants to collide and create products. With a lot of reactants, it is much more likely for collisions to occur.


How much solute is in a solution?

The concentration of a solution is some measurement of how much solute there is in the solution.
