Question

Consider a chamber containing two different types of dye molecules, purple and orange. the chamber is divided into two compartments (A and B) by a membrane that is permeable to both types of dye. Initially (left image), the concentration of the orange dye is greater on side A, and the concentration of the purple dye is greater on side B. With time, the dye molecules diffuse to a final, equilibrium state (right image) where they are evenly distributed throughout the chamber. Use the following answer options to indicate when each statement is true. These answer options can be used once, more than once, or not at all. Answer options: Never Always Only before equilibrium is reached Only at equilibrium Write answer letter for each on the lines provided below Orange dye moves independently of purple dye. Concentration gradients exist that drive diffuse of both dyes. There is a net movement of orange dye from side A to side B. Purple dye moves only from side B to side A. There is no net movement of purple dye.
