Answer:

From this it can be deduced that the fresh water is hypotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the celery stalks.

Explanation:

When submerged in water, the celery stalks become stiff and hard, this shows that water moves within the stalk, thus, water is hypotonic in comparison to the celery stalk. Therefore, water moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.  

When the same celery stalk is administered into the 0.15 M solution it turns soft, which shows that water from the celery stalk moves out. Thus, the salt solution is hypertonic in comparison to the celery stalk. Therefore, freshwater is hypertonic and the solution of salt is hypertonic to the celery stalk cells.

Species change over time. -The mechanism that produces the change is natural selection: the differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on variation in their traits. Natural selection acts on individuals but individuals do not evolve; their descendants do.

How does deforestation affect the water cycle? A. It increases the amount of percolation. B. It increases the amount of transpir
netineya [11]
The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.
