C. Pauling proposed the support strands ran down the middle of the molecule while Watson and Crick proposed the support strands ran down the sides.

On a lab bench, there are four balloons filled with identical volumes of different salt solutions: 0% (balloon
A), 5% (balloon B), 10% (balloon C), and 15% (balloon D). There are also four beakers each filled with identical volumes of a 10% salt solution. The balloons are semi-permeable; that is, only water can enter and exit the balloon. All four balloons are placed in separate beakers at the same time and are allowed to come to equilibrium. Which is the correct order of balloon volumes at equilibrium, from largest to smallest? A) A < B < C < D B) D < C < B < A C) D < B < A < C D) All balloons will be of equal volume at equilibrium.
