The important factor in osmosis is not the number of molecules. instead, it is the number of particles in a given volume of solution. for example, one glucose molecule dissolved in water yields one particle, but one nacl molecule can yield two ions: na+ and cl-. water moves osmotically in response to the total concentration of particles in the solution. if there is a 10% glucose solution on one side of a semipermeable membrane and 5% salt solution on the other side, what will most likely happen to the flow of water?

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
