The rheo leaf peel will lose water by osmosis and become flaccid. If the rheo leaf was boiled, this would not happen.

<h3>What is osmosis?</h3>

Across living membranes, water moves from a region of high to a region of low water potential.

Concentrated sugar solutions have low water potential when compared to the cell sap of the cells of rheo leaf peel. Thus, water will move from the rheo leaf peel to the sugar solution.

This will result in the wilting of the leaf peel.

If the leaf peel is boiled, the membranes in the cells die and can no longer function as a selectively permeable interface.

Which statements correctly describe atmospheric pressure?
Shalnov [3]

Answers are:

2. It pushes on all objects that are on Earth’s surface.

3. It can be measured in atmospheres or kilopascals.

Barometric pressure (atmospheric pressure), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing height, because there are fewer air molecules above a given object.

Barometer is an instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric pressure (atm) is the force per unit area by the weight of air above that point.  

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric system pressure unit and equals to 1000 force of newton per square meter.

Atmospheric pressure results from molecular collisions of atmospheric gases.

If an element has a mass number of 222 and an atomic number of 86, how
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

136

Explanation:

The Mass Number is the combination of the amount of Protons and Neutrons in an element, so if the total mass is 222, and the amount of protons is 86, then you can do 86 + x = 222 to find that x is equal to 136
