The size of the algal size will increase or swell when a student removes an algal cell from its marine environment and puts it into a sample of freshwater.

Tonicity refers to the concentration of a solution compared to another solution. A solution is said to be hypertonic, if it has a greater concentration of solutes than the other solution. A solution is said to be hypotonic, if it has a lower concentration of solutes than the other solution. A solution is said to be isotonic, if it has the same concentration of solutes as of the other solution.

In a marine environment, the algal cells are said to be hypertonic with a higher concentration of the solutes than the freshwater. When such a cell is placed in freshwater with hypotonic environment, the concentration of solutes in the cell is higher than the external environment. In other words, it has lesser water molecules in it. As a result, osmosis occurs which is the movement of water molecules from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane and water enters the cell from the freshwater. Thus, increasing the size of the algal cell or the algal cell swells.

Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in their ability to
maw [93]

The sexual reproduction helps in having more variation among the offsprings. It also makes the offsprings more resistant to genetic diseases.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sexual reproduction is the process by which the gametes of the species fused together to form zygote which develops into an offspring. This offspring produced has the gene from both the parents . This genetic setup is not only copied from the parents but they undergo the crossing over and independent assortment which leads to variation among the offspring itself as well as they differ from their parents too.

This variation among the offspring as well as the crossing over helps to eleminate the lethal genes from the genetic pool. Thereby they help to get more resistance among the offsprings from diseases.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) Plants</em>

Explanation:

Option A is false because the cell cannot be an animal cell. This is because an animal cell does not possess a cell wall.

Option B is false because the cell cannot be a bacterial cell. This is because a bacterial cell does not have a nucleus. Their genetic material is dispersed inside the cytoplasm.

Option C is correct because all the organelles, a cytoskeleton, mitochondrion, nucleus, cell wall, and ribosomes, are present inside the plant cells.

Settlement can be directly turned into which type of rocks
goblinko [34]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Settlement can be directly turned into <u>sedimentary rocks</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Sedimentary rocks are kinds of rocks that are framed by the collection or statement of little particles and ensuing cementation of mineral or natural particles on the sea floor or other places on the earth's crust. Sedimentation is the aggregate name for procedures that reason these particles to settle set up.  

The particles that structure a sedimentary shake are called residue and might be made out of geographical or natural debris.
