9.

What caused the paper towel connecting the two beakers of water to turn green after adding blue and yellow dye?

a)

Separation of the dye molecules through the process of chromatography

b)

Dyes moving across the towel due to the process of electrophoresis

c)

10.

Why did the freshwater fish die shortly after being placed in the saltwater tank?

a)

They became severely dehydrated due to the process of diffusion

b)

They swelled up and died due to taking in too much water

c)

They had no freshwater organisms to eat in the saltwater tank, so they died of starvation

d)

They ate all of the plants in the tank, so there was no longer oxygen in the water
