The Solutions in the Arms of a U-Tube Are Separated

question 34

Multiple Choice

The solutions in the arms of a U-tube are separated at the bottom of the tube by a selectively permeable membrane. The membrane is permeable to sodium chloride but not to glucose. Side A is filled with a solution of 0.4 M glucose and 0.5 M sodium chloride (NaCl) , and side B is filled with a solution containing 0.8 M glucose and 0.4 M sodium chloride. Initially, the volume in both arms is the same.

Definitions:

Exploitation Competition

A form of competition where organisms indirectly interact with each other by consuming shared resources.

Limited Resources

A situation in an ecosystem where the availability of resources such as food, water, or territory is insufficient to fulfill the needs of all organisms competing for them.

Consumption Overpopulation

A situation where the level of consumption by a population exceeds the ecosystem's carrying capacity, leading to environmental degradation.

Interference Competition

A form of competition where individuals directly interact and inhibit each other's access to resources, often through aggressive or exclusionary behavior.
