When two solutions have different osmolarity, the solution with lower osmolarity is called hypoosmotic

<h3>What is osmolarity? </h3>

The term osmolarity defines the total concentration of solute particles present in a particular volume of solution.

If a solution has a high amount of solute particles in one litre of solution, this solution is termed to have high osmolarity. If a solution has a low amount of solute particles per litre of solution, it is said to have low osmolarity.

When comparing two solutions of different osmolarities, the solution with higher osmolarity will be called hypertonic and the solution with lower osmolarity is called hypotonic.

Therefore, the term used to describe a solution of lower osmolarity compared to a solution of higher osmolarity is hypotonic.

Torpor is a short sleep that aims to conserve energy of the animal. In torpor state, the animal will have much lower temperature because the metabolic rate is decreased. Hibernation basically a multiple and longer torpor. The animal will be easier to wake in torpor than hibernation.

Answer:

plant cells have chloroplasts and a cell wall. (they also have one large central vacuole.)

Explanation: Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. Chloroplasts convert energy from the sun into sugar (glucose). The chloroplast is also where photosythesis happens in the plant cell. The cell wall is also only found in a plant cell. The cell wall protects and mantains the shape of the cell. And you don't have to put this one but the central vacuole is just one big vacuole in a plant cell that stores mainly water and nutrients since plant cells require more water to function, whereas in animal cells they have multiple small vacuoles.
