The beaker shown here has a membrane that separates two solutions. water can pass through the membrane, but starch cannot pass through it. how will the fluid levels change over? explain your prediction

Water will move from its region of high concentration towards the starch

Explanation:

As given in the problem statement , water can pass through the membrane but starch cannot pass through it. Thus, water will start permeating through the permeable membrane governed by the concept of osmosis where fluid at higher concentration starts moving towards the low concentration chamber.

Thus, water being at higher concentration on one side starts moving from its side to the side of starch and hence the starch solution level will rise while the level of water will lower down.

in the year 2850, humans successfully colonized mars. the martian modules that were constructed could hold only a small population of people. it is now a century later, and the population on mars has grown to 600 people. of the current mars population, 45 people express the recessive phenotype for phenylketon- uria (pku) syndrome (pp genotype).
