Ammonia, a gas that dissolves in water to form an ammonia solution. If you open a bottle of ammonia solution, some ammonia molecules will escape and diffuse out of the bottle. Ammonia is an alkali and changes red litmus paper blue.
a) What happened to the color of the litmus paper as the ammonia molecules move? 2pts
b) What is the name of the process that causes the ammonia to move? 1pt
c) Define the process that has been stated above in (b). 3pts
d) Explain how active transport differs from osmosis. 5pts

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Ammonia gas turns red litmus paper blue

b. Ammonification (?)

c. Ammonification is the process where microscopic organisms like bacteria or other types of decomposing organisms, break down nitrogen-containing chemicals from dead organic matter, into simple substances like ammonia.

d. In diffusion and osmosis, substances move down a concentration gradient. However, active transport moves substances against a concentration gradient.
