- A concentration gradient affects the direction that solutes diffuse. Describe how molecules move with respect to concentration.arrow_forwardSuppose that you have a splinter that is embedded so deep in your foot that you cannot remove it with tweezers. How could you use what you learned in this unit as a first-aid remedy in this situation? Select one: O A. Use active transport to your advantage to draw water into your foot. O B. Use osmosis to your advantage by placing your foot in a hypotonic solution. C. Use osmosis to your advantage by placing your foot in a hypertonic solution. D. Use an artificial concentration gradient to draw water into your foot. E. Use osmosis to your advantage by placing your foot in an isotonic solution.arrow_forwardTwo solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane that is permeable only to water. The two solutions are: Solution A = 150 mM KCl Solution B = 150 mM Angiotensin (a 7 amino acid polypeptide) Which of the following would best explain the net movement in this situation? - water will move from the KCl side to Angiotensin side - water will move from Angiotensin side to KCl side - The Cl- ion will move to the angiotensin side until there is 75 mM Cl- on each side - Since Angiotensin is not an ion, it can move through the membrane - There is no net water movement as the concentrations are the same on both sidesarrow_forward
- The beaker is divided into two compartments (C and D) that has equal volumes of solution separated by an artificial membrane that has a pore size of 23 Å (Angstrom). Explain the movement of solute after eight hours if comparment C has 17 % sucrose while the compartment D has 2 % sucrose (diameter of sucrose molecule = 9 Å (Angstrom))arrow_forwardThe terms below relate to the movement of materials and membranes.
