Yes, a solution is a mixture where the components are evenly distributed at the molecular level. This means that the solute (substance being dissolved) is uniformly dispersed in the solvent (the dissolving medium).
True, distillation is a separation process that utilizes differences in boiling points to separate components in a mixture. When a solution is heated, the component with the lowest boiling point will vaporize first, allowing it to be collected separately from the other components. This physical change enables the separation of dissolved substances in a solution.
True. A carbonated beverage is a liquid-gas system because it contains dissolved carbon dioxide gas in the liquid beverage.
Yes. It is the plasma that makes the bolt visible.
Yes, the movement of water across the plasma membrane, known as osmosis, depends on the relative concentration of solutes. Water will move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in an attempt to balance the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
Yes, eukaryotes have a true nucleus that contains their genetic material (DNA). The nucleus is membrane-bound and separates the genetic material from the rest of the cell's components.
Yes. In this sense, a plasma is similar to a gas.
Chicken broth is not a true solution; it is a mixture. A solution is a homogeneous mixture at the molecular level, where one substance is completely dissolved in another. In contrast, chicken broth contains various components, such as water, fats, proteins, and solid particles from the chicken and vegetables, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture. While certain components may dissolve in water, the broth itself retains a more complex structure.
True.
Sunkist soda is not a solution in the scientific sense; it is a carbonated beverage that contains water, sugar, flavorings, and carbonation. In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture where one substance is dissolved in another. While Sunkist soda is a mixture, it does not qualify as a true solution due to the presence of undissolved components and the distinct separation of flavors and carbonation.
Proteins are actually vital components of the plasma membrane that are involved in various functions such as transport, cell recognition, and cell signaling. They are not considered part of the nonactive matrix of the plasma membrane. Lipids make up the majority of the membrane structure, determining its fluidity and stability.
Yes, that is a correct description of plasmapheresis. It is a procedure where whole blood is taken from the body, separated into its components (plasma and cellular elements), and then the plasma is either removed or replaced before the cellular elements are reinfused back into the body.
