What would explain the change in the size of a gummy bear after it is placed in regular water? question 1 options: a- water moves in to dilute the sugar in the bear, causing it to swell. b- sugar leaves the gummy bear, so it shrinks. c- particles in the water rush into the bear since the sugar is sticky.

        The right answer to this question is option A. Water moves in to dilute the sugar in the bear, causing it to swell.

       That happens because there is a process involving water called osmosis. This process is pretty simple to understand. What happens is that the water will move from a place to another because of the concentration of solute. So, in this case, we have a higher concentration of solute inside the bear, and a lower one in the water, and for that, things need to be equal to reach the right balance between both concentrations. Once that happens, that water swells the gummy bear to balance these two them, and that's called osmosis.

i am positive it is c. condensing but i may be wrong

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).
