1. Define diffusion.2. A glucose-starch solution was placed in dialysis tubing. Then, the tubing was placed in a cup containing IKI indicator. Did starch stay within the tubing or move out of the tubing? Did IKI indicator stay in the solution in the cup or move into the tubing? Support your answer with the observations.3. put the IKI solution in the cup and the contents of the dialysis tubing were tested with the glucose test strips. Did glucose stay within the dialysis tubing or move out of the tubing? Support your answer with the observations.4. How is a cell membrane similar to the dialysis tubing used?5. might it be inferred that:. a) starch and glucose molecules are the same size,
b) starch molecules are larger than glucose molecules, or
c) starch molecules are smaller than glucose molecules. explain your answer.6. How did hypotheses compare with outcomes?7. What is osmosis,8. Is osmosis a form of active or passive diffusion/transport? Why?9. Why do intravenous (IV) solutions need to have the same tonicity as blood?10. What occurred when blood mixed with solution? Why did this occur?11. Is the movement of substances in this exercise active or passive?

Mantle convection  is the slow  creepingmotion of earth's solid silicate  mantle  caused by  convection  currents carrying  heat from the interior  to the planet's surface.[1][2]  the earth's surface  lithosphere, which rides atop the  asthenosphere  (the two components of the  upper mantle), is divided into a number of  plates  that are continuously being created and consumed at their opposite  plate boundaries. accretion occurs as mantle is added to the growing edges of a plate, associated with  seafloor spreading. this hot added material cools down by  conduction  and  convection  of heat. at the consumption edges of the plate, the material has thermally contracted to become dense, and it sinks under its own weight in the process of  subduction  usually at an  ocean trench.[3]this subducted material sinks through the earth's interior. some subducted material appears to reach the lower mantle,[4]  while in other regions, this material is impeded from sinking further, possibly due to a phase transition from  spinel  to  silicate perovskiteand  magnesiowustite, an  endothermic reaction.[5]the subducted oceanic crust triggers  volcanism, although the basic mechanisms are varied. volcanism may occur due to processes that add buoyancy to partially melted mantle causing an upward flow due to a decrease in density of the partial melt.secondary forms of convection that may result in surface volcanism are postulated to occur as a consequence of intraplate extension[6]  and  mantle plumes.[7]it is because the mantle can convect that the  tectonic plates  are able to move around the earth's surface.[8]mantle convection seems to have been much more active during the  hadean  period, resulting in gravitational sorting of heavier molten  iron, and  nickel  elements and  sulphides  in the core, and lighter  silicate minerals  in the  mantle.
