The beaker in the diagram below has a selectively permeable membrane separating two solutions. assume that both water and salt can pass freely through the membrane. when equilibrium is reached, will the fluid levels be the same as they are now? explain.

Answer

The movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis. A substance that moves by passive transport tends to move away from the area where it is more concentrated. Diffusion and osmosis both regard the dispersion of particles. By definition, water is the only substance that undergoes osmosis.

to figure the total magnification of an image that you are viewing through the microscope is really quite simple. to get the total magnification take the power of the objective (4x, 10x, 40x) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, (usually 10x)
