Answer 1

1. a. sugar is the solute/solvent2. c. Many chemical reactions require the presence of water to take place.3. a b. False c. False d. True e. True f. True4. A. smaller B. volume C. smaller D. diffusion5. B. is found in both the stem and the roots

Answer 2

## Step 1In a solution of sugar in water, the solute is the substance that is dissolved the solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. Here, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.## Step 2The statement "Many chemical reactions require the presence of water to take place" is true. Water is often referred to as the "universal solvent" because it can dissolve many substances. It is also a crucial component in many biochemical reactions.## Step 3The statements about diffusion and osmosis are evaluated as follows:a. Not only water molecules diffuse, but also other small molecules.b. Osmosis refers to the movement of solvent particles, not solute particles.c. Diffusion can take place through any permeable medium, not just a semipermeable membrane.d. Osmosis is indeed the diffusion of water through a semipermeablee. Semi-permeable membranes do allow some substances to pass through while blocking others.f. Cell membranes are indeed semi-permeable.## Step 4The passage discusses the relationship between the size of an animal and its surface area to volume ratio. Large animals have a smaller surface area to volume ratio than small animals. A small organism may absorb oxygen from its surroundings by diffusion over its whole body. However, large organisms usually have specialized mechanisms to obtain a quick supply of oxygen.## Step 5The xylem is a type of tissue in vascular plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients. It is found in the stem and roots of the plant.
